"We want to congratulate the Anaheim team on their new world-class facility.  The dense network and advanced technology incorporated into the new building set a new standard in the industry."

ACC North, which officially opened for business on September 26, 2017, is the convention center's seventh major expansion.  The expansion added 200,000 square feet of flexible space and secures the ACC's position as the largest convention center on the West Coast.


"ACC North promises to elevate the Anaheim Convention Center to new heights," said Tom Morton, Executive Director of the Anaheim Convention Center. "Our new facility is the new gold standard for flexible design in meeting, ballroom and exhibit space with state of the art technology."
