Cobo Center Revenue and Competitors

Cobo Center is a world-class meeting and convention facility, located along a beautifully restored international riverfront in the heart of a vibrant and transformed downtown Detroit. The center is in close proximity to exceptional restaurants, lively bars and pubs, three Las Vegas-style casinos and seven new hotels. Cobo is physically linked to downtown Detroit hotels and entertainment districts by the Detroit People Mover, an elevated railway system. Cobo Center prides itself on its versatility. Our elegant banquet rooms and more than 100 meeting rooms comprise 200,000 square feet, and Cobo boasts one of the largest contiguous exhibit floor spaces in North America. We regularly host the nation's top meetings, events and conferences. They include the annual North American International Auto Show, the Shell Eco-marathon Americas, and the annual Society of Automotive Engineers International Congress, and the world's largest sit-down dinner, hosted by the NAACP Freedom Institute. These are exciting times for Cobo Center. The facility has completed a $279 million upgrade that transformed Cobo into a state-of-the-art facility. This investment was made possible through a partnership between the City of Detroit, the State of Michigan, and the counties of Wayne, Oakland and Macomb, reflecting southeast Michigan's commitment to Cobo Center's future and its clients. We know youll be thrilled with what the future holds for Cobo Center.
