The Austin Convention Center is a government-operated venue in Austin, Texas that serves as a hub for meetings, conventions, and related events. It is undergoing a major redevelopment, with the center closed in April 2025 and slated to reopen in 2029. The transformation will create 620,000 square feet of flexible indoor space and add 70,000 square feet of outdoor venues, expanding capacity and versatility for a range of event formats. Targeted at event organizers and attendees seeking a downtown, adaptable convention experience, the center aims to support large-scale gatherings and tourism-driven activity in the region. It is positioned to host significant events, including as a venue for competition during the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games in the city. In early 2026, the center announced partnerships with local stakeholders, such as Downtown Austin Alliance, to pilot a Downtown Patron Parking Program offering discounted parking for patrons who support nearby businesses.
