Duluth Entertainment Convention Center, Duluth, MN

The Duluth Entertainment Convention Center or DECC is located in the city of Duluth, Minnesota. It is a venue for events and gatherings no matter how small or large. When a person has plans for the convention center there is staff on hand to help create the perfect look. They work to make the ballroom just perfect or to set up the exhibit hall for events.

There are five ballrooms at DECC. These ballrooms are Harbor Side, Lake Superior, Lake Superior JK, Lake Superior Ballroom JK rounds, and the Lake Superior Ballroom LMNO. Four of the ballrooms are on the city side with views of Duluth from the windows. The other ballroom offers a look at the busy harbor below.

There are also two exhibit halls at the convention center. The Edmund Fitzgerald is 15,000 square feet with 100 feet in length and 150 feet in width. The ceilings are at 13 foot 6 inches. There are no theater or classroom setups with the Fitzgerald Hall. Instead it is set up for tradeshows and other larger events where booths can be set up. The booths are set up by the convention center team to ensure that the pathways have been created appropriately.

The pioneer is yet another exhibit space with 48,256 square feet. The length is 377 feet with a width of 128 feet. The ceilings in this space are 30 foot. It is a lot like a warehouse facility than other space. The floors unlike the Edmond Hall are concrete instead of carpet. The ceilings are also unfinished with metal exposed.

For meetings the convention center is just as handy. There are 30 meeting rooms that total 100,000 square feet. The meeting rooms can be set up as exhibit space for smaller places or they can be for business meetings. They are barrier free and in compliance with the ADA. Equipment rental is possible for anyone needing theater equipment or meeting boards. They also have internet connections. The staff at the convention center is more than happy to set up the equipment and be on hand for any questions.

Catering is available at DECC. There are full menus, breakfasts, breaks, luncheons, and dinners. Depending on the event like a wedding the entire thing can be set up by the convention center. If it is just a meeting the group may decide on coffee with a few snacks. The in house catering department can ensure everything is set up appropriately.

As an entertainment venue there is also a theater onsite. The theater often hosts a variety of different shows like Larry the Cable Guy, Wizard of OZ, and the 44th annual Home and Builder Show. The Omnimax is also part of the complex. It is an IMAX style theater with movies for all ages that are educational and fun. The DECC center is Duluth's main place for any event no matter how small or large. Anyone can rent the space if they have a use for it, though bookings do require advanced planning.
