Hosting more than just conventions and tradeshows, it's home to diverse events like dance competitions, sporting events, multicultural celebrations, home and garden shows, fishing and boat shows, wellness expos and so much more. "Our multi-purpose space allows us to host significant national and international conventions while simultaneously accommodating a multitude of other events without interruption," said Drew Fisher, President & CEO. "Since our expansion, we are now able to transform our third floor into 11 volleyball courts with spectator seating one day; an international pow wow the next; a gala dinner for 2,300 one night followed by a tradeshow with 600 booths the next day. All this third floor activity can be accommodated while hosting conventions on the other two floors." Located in the heart of downtown Winnipeg, this premier multi-purpose facility is Canada's fourth largest publicly owned convention centre. If you've visited the RBC Convention Centre recently, you'll notice some of these beautiful changes and additions. The new south building features lobby and registration space along Carlton Street with floor-to-ceiling windows that lets in that natural light that we enjoy as one of Canada's sunniest cities. The main floor York Ballroom is premium space that can host large galas or be divided into four meeting or conference rooms. With its high ceilings and a beautiful LED lighting system that extends outside to the street level plaza on York Avenue, this ballroom is a highlight of the south building. The north building is home to a multitude of flexible meeting space plus a number of specialty rooms. Did you know the second floor actually has a 300 seat presentation theatre with movie theatre screen and comfy seating? The most visited space in both buildings is the expansive third floor exhibition hall with its unique windows that span across York Avenue and hosts a myriad of events. In the centre of the third floor is the incredible City View Room that stitches the north and south buildings together.
