The 118,000-square-foot, column-free Exhibit Hall can be used as an impressive Main Hall or split into three smaller halls. This

level also offers a 28,000-square-foot Grand Ballroom which can be divided into five smaller sections if needed. Five meeting

rooms offering 16-foot ceilings and natural light complement the overall space. A spacious pre-function foyer located outside

the Exhibit Hall and the Ballroom is perfect for registration. But it’s this level’s views that will really grab your attention: The

Memphis Board Room, a three-sided glass space, cantilevers over Main Street for downtown views, while an outdoor terrace

overlooking the Mississippi River provides a relaxing place for breaks.
