I attended a homeschool convention here, this April, for the second year in a row. It's a nice facility -- very large and handles extremely large crowds well. There are plenty of escalators and bathrooms spread across the entire center, so it always seems they are close at hand. I almost always saw employees at various posts, which was good... More

This is a very clean convention center. The food was not typical of convention food. I was able to find very healthy options and the food was very good. It was a nice surprise! The security people were very kind.

We were here as vendors for a convention. Loading dock was inside so that was nice. Fairly clean. Had a snack bar by our booth which had a very friendly and helpful staff. Did notice the lack of seat covers in the ladies rooms. All and all it was good.

We went to a homeschool convention this weekend at the Duke Convention Center in Cincinnati. It was very spacious and hospitable to a large number of people. There were only a few instances where space was limited. The conference rooms were often packed to capacity and sometimes individuals had to sit on the floor. Also, two of the meal vendors... More

Enjoyed the different areas for the conference but should have provided free wifi. It's a business professional conference and it would be nice to be able to get free wifi instead of having to pay everyday for it or pay for it at all.

For as nice as a facility as this is, you would think they could provide seat protectors in the rest room. I hate having to go to this facility every year because of this reason. I find it disgusting.

Nice facility--nice for conferences and boat shows etc.--of course they can afford to build this because of their unreasonable costs for energy!
