Greater Fort Lauderdale hosts an innovative concept called the "Lauderdale Convention Collection."

In addition to accommodations and hotel facilities, planners can take advantage of great savings. Specials include omplimentary meeting and event space at the Convention Center, one-hour welcome reception, one-hour Board of Directors reception, commemorative destination gifts, 10% discount off center services such as food & beverage, electric, a/v, internet and security staffing.
"By creating a single hospitality experience for large groups, the Lauderdale Convention Collection puts Greater Fort Lauderdale ahead of the game in attracting national and international meetings, conventions, exhibitions and special events," said Nicki E. Grossman, the CVB's president.
