Galveston Island Convention Center

Pretty nice facility. Great view of the gulf. Temperature was good for an event of this size. Loading dock area is undersized and makes larger events with multiple vendors difficult to organize.

Attended smallish conference here. Biggest complaint was the IT staff. A presentation stalled in every session, even though they were using the IT staff’s computer only. And the microphone situation? Akkkkkkkkkkkk feedback central, and no discretion as to how to fix them without blowing everyone’s ears out. Now if the IT staff doesn’t work for the convention center directly, then the only complaint I have is the mediocre and overpriced food available at the center. But isn’t that part of the joy of conferences?

This is a very nice venue for a convention. I went for a nursing convention and they had a nice size room for the main sessions and several break-​out session rooms that comfortably fit everyone. The meals provided were delicious and the staff were very readily available. The scenery is absolutely fantastic since it is right on the Seawall. I would highly recommend this facility for any events.

This is a very nice facility. We hosted an event with about 3000+ people and used the small ballroom downstairs. It was a good sized room but didn’t allow enough room to fit our competition floor, judges stage, sound booth and all the competitors and spectators comfortably. We ended up having to rotate out the spectators as their team came on the mat. It was almost like a revolving door. Come in, watch your team, go out this door. It worked luckily! Apparently there is another ballroom upstairs that is twice the size that we will be utilizing next year! Overall its a nice facility. Plenty of bathrooms and tons of space to move around in the main entry. There was enough room for our vendors to post up in the entry without being in the way of people walking through. The facility staff were very friendly and incredibly helpful when it came to our every need. I look forward to using this facility again next year.

Great view of the Gulf and Seawall! Good spot for a wedding reception, very nice inside. Some say the owner has it rigged to become a casino as soon as gambling passes in Texas, so yea, it’s nice inside.

Nice room, friendly staff but the Flatscreen in the room is poor quality. Everything else is great. The Service was exceptional!
