It's new, clean, modern. The AV stuff is up to modern standards. It's a good size for a 100 person conference, there are a couple of big rooms and some small ones.
I've attended conventions in many cities and the Norris Conference Centers surpases them all. It's quite an beautiful. It was very easy to navigate. There are were many well posted maps and information boards. When we walked in last night, we happened to walk in the right doors, but other people we were with didn't and wandered for quite a while. There were large electronic boards with posted information, to guide everyone. The actual facilities are fine. There are three levels of space. We were in the George Bush Ballroom on the 3rd floor which sat about 5000+ people at a banquet last night. On previous occasions, I have been in graduation ceremonies on the lower floors. One nice addition (since the other posters did their review) is Discovery Green. There is now a lovely park across the street. You can park below it and then wander around there before and after your convention center event. You can also grab lunch in the park. The parking below the park was $10 per person with a nice side helping of frustration as it took us 45 minutes to exit the parking garage. The banquet we attended was catered. The food was good and the service was fine. We had chicken, pasta and green beans. The bread, drinks, and dessert were all good as well. The close proximity to the new Hilton hotel is a plus. They offer valet parking in case you don't find street parking or can't find space below Discovery Green. Overall, the layout and ease of use of the Norris Conference Centers wer excellent.
