The Fort Worth Convention Center in downtown Fort Worth offers over 230,000 square feet of event space, a 28,000-square-foot ballroom and 28 breakout rooms, and it is in the middle of a major expansion that stays open during construction. Planners there rent booth furniture for the exhibit halls, lounges and bars for receptions, and upgraded seating for breakouts. Modern Event Rental DFW delivers and installs event furniture at the center and at downtown Fort Worth hotels.
