History of the Miami Beach Convention Center

The construction of the Convention Center was completed in 1957, but then its capacity was no more than 15 thousand people throughout the territory. The center received its expansion in 1989, when investors contributed over 90 million US dollars to the Miami Beach Convention Center reorganization project.

The reorganization touched the entire territory of the center. Additionally, the changes affected all latrines, as well as telecommunications infrastructure. The modernized building has become even more grandiose and attractive to all visitors.

Miami Beach Convention Center is a building in which any events and events are constantly taking place. Every day you can become a member or witness of unforgettable actions. Often in this center the most outstanding events of the year are held, in which famous people from the USA and the whole world participate. Thousands of guests flock from Europe, other countries and cities in order to participate or witness events.

In 1964, for example, the complex was a competition between two prominent boxers — Ali and Liston. In the same year, a congress of Democrats and Republicans took place, and for 11 years since 1960, a competition was held at the center in which the girls fought for the title of "Miss Universe."
