Meeting Venue<br />
The Salt Palace Convention Center (SPCC) <strong>com</strong>bines spacious meeting<br />
facilities with 21st-century environmental technology. Containing 675,000<br />
square feet of conference area, management strives to reduce, reuse<br />
and recycle. The <strong>20</strong>06 expansion of SPCC was awarded the U.S. Green<br />
Building Council’s Silver LEED status for being designed and constructed<br />
utilizing environmentally responsible techniques. A key <strong>com</strong>ponent of this<br />
planning utilizes water efficient landscaping which has reduced anticipated<br />
water needs for the facility’s landscaping by 50 percent.<br />
Hotels, restaurants and other venues are in close proximity to the Salt<br />
Palace Convention Center. Over 140 restaurants, bars, nightclubs and<br />
brew pubs are within walking distance. The TRAX light rail system offers<br />
free fares in the convention district.<br />
