Welcome to the Neighborhood's Busiest Asset – Your Business Advantage in the Social District

The LA Convention Center is one of the city’s premier event destinations — and it’s right in the heart of the LA Social District.

Hosting hundreds of events each year, from international expos to pop culture conventions, industry trade shows, and corporate gatherings, the Convention Center consistently draws massive foot traffic from around the world.

For businesses in the district, this means opportunity.

Every event brings a surge of visitors who are looking for places to eat, shop, explore, and unwind. Whether you're a restaurant, retail store, coffee shop, or service-based business, these high-traffic days are a chance to attract new customers, boost sales, and expand your reach.

Our neighborhood’s walkability, proximity to hotels, and vibrant energy make it an ideal destination for convention-goers before, during, and after their events.
