COBO Center is
Michigan's World Class meeting and convention facility.
The 2.4 million
square foot complex, located on the bank of the Detroit River, is the
centerpiece of downtown Detroit's Civic Center. COBO Center offers
convenience, comfort, service reliability and fine food. Overlooking the
Detroit River and our international neighbor, Windsor Canada, our elegant
banquet rooms and over 80 meeting rooms totaling 178,446 square feet equip
COBO Center to accommodate capacities from 30 to 10,000. COBO Center also
boasts one of the largest contiguous exhibit floor space in North America
and two adjacent arenas (COBO Arena and Joe Louis Arena).
COBO is physically linked to all downtown Detroit hotels and
entertainment districts by the Detroit People Mover, the only elevated
railway system of its kind in the United States.
COBO Center's physical capabilities are only exceeded by our unrivaled
level
of care and customer service. The management, staff and suppliers
of COBO Center stand poised and ready to handle the unique demands of your
special event, from the initial planning stages through the event's
completion.
COBO Center has a proven track record of handling international events
like
the International G-7 Job Summit, the annual North American
International Auto Show, the annual Society of Automotive Engineers
International Congress, and frequent national events, i.e. visits by the
President, the Vice President and foreign heads of state. COBO's Staff is
well versed in the cultural and diplomatic sensitivities involved in an
international event.
The management team of COBO Conference/Exhibition Center works
cooperatively with City of Detroit departments such as Transportation,
Parking, Police, Airport, County, State and Federal agencies, Detroit's
corporate community, and the Detroit Metro Convention and Visitors Bureau to
ensure the success of events at our facility.

In addition, for large conventions requiring more than the committable
number of downtown area hotel rooms; COBO Center will work with your
convention to develop a shuttle transportation plan.
