ABSTRACT

Convention centers are multi-experience venues that encourage learning and small group interactions. The aim of this article is to explore into the interaction and rapport between the physical space and the behaviour of users in a convention center. In this paper, we look at what the ideal convention center looks like and see its advantages over existing convention centers as it promotes interaction, satisfaction and user friendliness which will be discussed in detail.
