Niagara Falls Convention Centre (NFCC) is marking its 15th anniversary, celebrating a decade and a half of hosting impactful events. Over the past 15 years, NFCC has hosted 1,600 plus events, ranging from venue-wide conferences to multi-day consumer shows and city-wide sporting events. While reflecting on the past 15 years, NFCC is looking ahead to new growth as Ontario’s refreshed destination strategy for Niagara Falls spotlights business events and tourism infrastructure.
Since opening in 2011, NFCC has been host to national and international organizations, welcoming nearly 2,000,000 attendees to the Convention Centre. These high-profile events have generated more than 500,000 room nights for local hotels and produced an estimated $500 million in economic impact to the City of Niagara Falls. NFCC employs nearly 50 full-time staff, and during peak event periods, expands its workforce with more than 150 part-time team members across all departments, while continuing to create meaningful opportunities for regional partners and suppliers.
“For 15 years, NFCC has been a place where industries connect, ideas move forward, and Niagara shows what it can do on a national and international stage,” said Tim Oldfield, president and general manager, Niagara Falls Convention Centre. “With renewed focus on destination development, we’re ready to welcome the next wave of meetings and events that support local jobs, strengthen tourism and generate year-round economic activity.”
