When it was built in 1919, Jacksonville Terminal was the railroad gateway to Florida. Now it is completely restored and renovated. And where the trains once ran on time, boat shows, conventions, trade shows, banquets, and meetings now run like clockwork. It's the Prime F.Osborn III Convention Center, a setting of unconventional beauty, advantages, and efficiency for any event.
With 265,000 square feet of space, the Prime Osborn Convention Center is large enough and versatile enough to accommodate gatherings of virtually any size, small or large. The center is also ready to handle any food-serving demands, with a fully equipped, 5,000 square-foot kitchen capable of gourmet service for over 3,000 guests. State-of-the-art audio and visual systems are also available throughout the center.
Located on 22 acres, the center has on-site parking for nearly 1,000 cars, with 4,000 additional spaces within easy walking distance. The Prime Osborn Convention Center is just 20 minutes away from Jacksonville International Airport and within 5 miles of over 1,500 hotel rooms. The Convention Center has been the home of events such as the Jacksonville Home & Patio Show, the Southern Women's Show, Christmas Made in the South, and a variety of other community events.
