Utah Events: 3 Top Venues for Large Conventions
Next Phase Media serves clients across the U.S. and internationally from our home base in Utah, which is one of the fastest growing states in the U.S. The Beehive State is known for its outdoor recreation industry and the many companies that support it, along with an established tech scene dubbed the Silicon Slopes.
Whether you’re hosting a national conference, retailer show, or fan convention, there are 3 top venues in Northern Utah that can support the capacity. Our team has spent years working events, productions, and shows in these venues on large-scale events:
#1 - Salt Palace Convention Center
The Salt Palace Convention Center is often rented out for major events, such as the Fan X Salt Lake Comic Convention (unofficially the “Salt Lake Comic Con”). Many companies, associations, and organizations take advantage of the massive space for annual meetings, trade shows, and sales kick off events.
At a Glance*:
Location: Downtown Salt Lake City, Utah
Capacity:
Exhibit Hall Theater = 52,900 people
Banquet = 25,900 people
Classroom = 23,500 people
Meeting Rooms - 67
Booths Accommodated - 1,100
Total Exhibit Space - 515,000 sq ft
#2 - The Delta Arena
The Delta Arena (formerly, the Vivint Smart Home Arena) is just a stone’s throw away from the Salt Palace Convention Center. Some conferences will rent out both facilities, with the excitement of the arena leveraged as a space for entertainment. However, the Delta Arena is a venue in its own right. In addition to sporting events, concerts, monster truck rallies, circuses, and ice skating performance, you may want to consider using the powerful setting for an impactful keynote. Our team has first-hand experience supporting live events in the Delta Arena.

Location: Downtown Salt Lake City, Utah
Capacity:
Largest room: 28,000 people
Reception capacity: 700 people

#3 - Utah Valley Convention Center
With easy access to the tech scene in Lehi, the Provo Airport, and two universities (Utah Valley University and Brigham Young University), many companies and groups wish to stay in Utah Valley for their events. Our team has spent ample time on productions in the Utah Valley Convention Center.
