Located in the heart of the South Okanagan, the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre offers flexibility and functionality. Ideally suited for conventions between 150 to 650 delegates with a trade show component, here are five reasons to choose the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre for your next event:
1. Configurable Spaces for Every Event Size
The Penticton Trade and Convention Centre is the largest dedicated full-service meeting facility in the B.C. Interior. It offers 60,000 sq. ft. of flexible meeting and exhibit space, all under one roof. Our two ballrooms are pillar-free and divisible, giving you the freedom to scale your event up or down.
With seven additional meeting rooms and continuous lobbies that support flow, your exhibitors will appreciate the extra face-to-face time from our venue layout.
2. Trade Show Capacity
We’re built with logistics in mind. The Penticton Trade and Convention Centre can accommodate up to 222 10’ x 10’ trade show booths and features two large loading bays, allowing for smooth load-in and load-out. The facility is all on ground level and is designed for easy access.
3. Built-In Value
We understand that every planner is working within a budget. That is why our rentals are designed to deliver real value, right from the start.
Your venue rental at the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre includes tables, chairs, linens, a stage, a dance floor, and up to four podiums. It’s everything you need to get started, with no added costs or surprises.
Complimentary parking is also available for exhibitors and attendees, subject to availability. For multi-day programs or high-attendance events, those savings add up.
4. In-House Food and Beverage
Our in-house food and beverage team can create customizable menus tailored to your event’s needs. Choose from themed buffets and plated dinners, and add reception displays, carving and action stations to add flair up your event.
We use locally sourced products whenever possible to deliver fresh, memorable meals your guests will be talking about long after the event.
