In the heart of Washington State's hottest growth area and within an hour's drive of more than 2.5 million people, the Clark County Event Center offers a new destination for events.

The flexibility of the Clark County Event Center's Exhibition Hall gives show and event planners many options, including 97,200 square feet of column-free exhibit space. Don't need that much space? Two air walls let planners size down to five other configurations. Need easy access? Semis can drive right into the hall through one of four roll-up doors. Exhibitors can use one of five loading docks just outside and a self-leveling bay.

Expecting a large crowd? The center has parking for 7,500 vehicles. Planners will enjoy free wireless Internet access, no admissions tax, low parking fees and some of the most competitive space rental rates in the region.

What kinds of shows belong in the new hall? Consumer events, trade shows, corporate meetings, assemblies and festivals are all easy fits. And adjacent to the Exhibition Hall are additional event facilities: the Equestrian Arena, grandstands, livestock building and the three South Halls.

With 27 million vehicles passing by annually on Interstate 5, the Clark County Event Center is highly visible and easy to find. The facility is located nine miles north of Portland with quick access to the Portland International Airport.
