7. The Javits Center is Not the Largest in the United States But is the Busiest

In terms of square footage, the Javits Center doesn’t crack the top ten, smaller than those in Orlando, Chicago, and New Orleans, Las Vegas, and some other cities. In fact, there are four separate convention centers in Las Vegas, each of which are larger than the Javits Center. However, the Javits Center is the busiest in the United States. “We’re certainly the busiest in the country,” Ken Dixon, Vice President of Security and Safety Solutions of the Javits Center, “No one else comes close in terms of occupancy, economic impact, whatever the metric or KPI, we top the list every single year.”

Behind the scenes, there’s an immense amount of shop space, IT space, storage, kitchens, and more that collectively make the Javits Center tick.
