Jackson Convention Complex Overview

Just how sizeable is the Jackson Convention Complex advantage? Let’s do the numbers.

Built to green-facility standards, the Jackson Convention Complex will feature 128,000 square feet of meeting space, encompassing a 60,000-square-foot exhibit hall, a 25,000-square-foot ballroom, and 33,000 square feet of lobbies, concourse, and pre-function areas. The complex will feature multiple easy-access loading docks, two full-service concession areas, two boardrooms, 10 meeting rooms, and more – all accented by the very latest in fiber optic technology, Wi-Fi capability, and state-of-the-art sound. And, the complex will be located within walking distance of many fine restaurants, hotels, and entertainment venues downtown. Lots of cities build convention centers. In Jackson, we’re creating an entire convention district.

Banquet Hall

Give your event a distinctive Jackson flair and flavor.

No event can be truly exceptional without exceptional food. Besides, keeping everyone well-fed is a sure-fire way to keep convention-goers happy. And with Savor Jackson™ Catering, you’ll have the culinary fare that crowds crave. We’ll create a custom menu specifically for your event, complete with everything you might need in the way of food and drink, from fresh, seasonal specialties to deliciously decadent deserts (may we recommend a peach cobbler that made a local eatery famous?). Everything prepared in our gleaming, 10,000-square-foot kitchen comes with SMG’s Pledge of Satisfaction. Of course, Jackson’s signature hospitality is complimentary with every meal.
