The Charlotte Convention Center opened in 1995 and attracts more than half a million visitors each year. It was designed by Thompson, Ventulett, Stainback & Associates (TVS).

It has 280,000 square feet (26,000 m²) of contiguous exhibit space. The ballroom spans 35,000 square feet (3,300 m²) with banquet seating for up to 1,800 guests. Pre-function areas extend the ballroom space by 15,000 square feet (1,400 m²). There is also more than 90,000 square feet (8,000 m²) of flexible meeting space in 46 rooms.

The LYNX and the Charlotte Trolley lines pass straight through the center of the convention center.

Currently, the convention center is being expanded to include an additional ballroom since the new NASCAR Hall of Fame will be connected to the convention center.
