Branson, Missouri, nestled deep in the beautiful Missouri Ozarks, has long been one of the most exciting and fun-filled family vacation destinations in the country. Today, thanks in large part to the Branson Convention Center, Branson is quickly gaining reputation as a first-class meeting and trade show destination. The Branson Convention Center can accommodate up to 4,500 attendees at a time, offering guests 220,000 gross square feet of space. This includes a 47,000-square-foot exhibit hall, which can be divided in half, and five meeting rooms ranging in size from 1,200 to 1,500 square feet.
