The new 1.1 million-square-foot North Building of the expanded Phoenix Convention Center recently hosted its first guests—The American Meteorological Society and Imaging USA. Both conventions began simultaneously on Sunday, January 11th.  “Hosting two major conventions at the same time would not have been possible without the expansion,” said Jay Green, Director of the Phoenix Convention Center. “We are excited to bring over 45,000 delegates to the downtown Phoenix area in our first month alone.”
