Traveling to Knoxville Expo Center
Tennessee’s largest privately-owned Convention Facility
Located just minutes from downtown, the Knoxville Expo Center venue is centrally located to Knoxville’s booming suburban population and easily accessed by visitors throughout East Tennessee. In fact, Knoxville Expo Center is within a days’ drive of half the nation’s population, situated at the crossroads of three major interstates, I-75, I-40 and I-81. Adding to our attractive location, our exhibit hall is a short drive away from the world-class resorts of Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and the Great Smoky Mountains.
Our convention facility has more than 1600 hotel rooms, 50 restaurants and numerous shopping opportunities in close proximity and is less than 20 miles from McGhee Tyson Airport, East Tennessee’s premier airport.
