2025 is the 20th Anniversary of DeVos Place convention center located on Monroe Ave in downtown Grand Rapids. On December 20, 2003 the Grand Rapids-Kent County Convention Arena Authority held a public grand opening of the $211 million DeVos Place convention center showcasing the new convention center’s 250,000 square feet of meeting and exhibit space.
The final phase of the DeVos Place expansion, which included a 40,000 square-foot ballroom, was completed in early 2005. The completion of six Riverview meeting rooms above the ballroom and the conference center has enhanced the destination package for our larger conferences.
