Connecticut Convention Center sees record attendance in FY24, but faces challenges due to reduced hotel rooms.

Connecticut Convention Center attendance surpasses pre-pandemic levels, hitting 393,543 visitors in fiscal 2024. However, challenges arise due to a significant drop in available hotel rooms, from 900-1,000 pre-pandemic to 400-600 currently, causing the venue to focus on day-tripper events and exhibitions. This decrease in hotel rooms is attributed to pandemic-related closures, apartment conversions, and high demand for residential spaces.
