About us

With all that Memphis has to offer, you will want to be in the center of the action.

Downtown Memphis is alive with new growth and at the heart of it all is the Memphis Cook Convention Center and Cannon Center for the Performing Arts. The convention center, only 20 minutes from the Memphis International Airport, boasts the stately 28,000 s.f. Cannon Center Ballroom, a column free Main Exhibit Hall of more than 120,000 s.f. 31 meeting rooms and the impressive 2,100 seat Cannon Center for the Performing Arts. Add to all that a 35,000 s.f. special exhibit hall and parking for 750 cars.

The Memphis Cook Convention Center is an SMG-Managed Facility. SMG is the world's leading company in the private development and management of public assembly facilities, including stadiums, arenas, theaters and exhibition/convention centers. We operate these facilities under long-term contracts or leases and assume full responsibility for financial and operating management.

When planning your event, look to Memphis, Tennessee as your next destination! Memphis can offer you a truly unique blend of amazing food, interesting sites, and southern hospitality. The “Bluff City” still holds its title as the Home of the Blues, Birthplace of Rock & Roll and a center of culture and history.
