 The Veterans Memorial Civic & Convention Center stands in Lima’s Town Square and is the hub of the community’s cultural life. It is the primary public assembly facility in West Central Ohio. Since our opening in 1984, more than 3 million people have attended over 12,000 events held here. The centerpiece of our Convention Center is the 14,500 square foot Exhibit Hall, which can be partitioned into three sections. The Hall is the site of conferences, conventions, trade and product sales shows and a myriad of private events such as wedding receptions, class reunions, banquets and others. Adjacent to the Exhibit Hall are ten meeting rooms on two levels that are perfect for breakout space and smaller meetings.
The Convention Center is connected to the 100-room business-friendly Wingate by Wyndham. The beautiful Downtown Skywalk connects the Convention Center to the new City/County Downtown Parking Garage. Entire events can be accomplished under roof, if necessary, merging big city convenience and style with small market affordability.
