This convention center is located in what used to be a US Naval Base in Isla Grande. Next to the Isla Grande Airport, in Miramar. The architecture is inspired by the ocean, with different tones of blue to symbolize waves. Puerto Rico Convention Center is one of the largest convention centers in the Caribbean and one of the few technologically advanced centers in The Americas. It is a place where you can attend to a variety of events of interesting organizations and more!
