Centro de Congresos Querétaro

Centro de Congresos Queretaro is a multipurpose convention center and indoor arena located in Queretaro, Queretaro. It was started in 2007 and finished after a two year pause of the construction, in 2011, due to the continued growth of both the city and the state. Prior to the completion of the Centro de Congresos, the Auditorio Josefa Ortiz de Dominguez was the largest indoor venue in Queretaro. However, that arena had been built in 1985, when Queretaro's population was less than half its current population. The growth of Queretaro's population eventually escalated to the point that a venue with a much larger capacity was needed, resulting in this venue.

It can be divided into four separate rooms and has a ceiling height of 11.2 meters (37 feet).[3] For trade shows, the hall can accommodate 328 stands. In front of the Gran Salon Queretaro is a 2,340-square-meter (25,200-square-foot) outdoor terrace.
