Two of the Northeast’s top event and convention venues, the Atlantic City Convention Center and Historic Boardwalk Hall, are open for business after Hurricane Sandy with neither venue experiencing any significant storm damage.
“Both the Atlantic City Convention Center and Historic Boardwalk Hall came through the storm, and both venues are ready to resume operations,” said Jeff Vasser, president, Atlantic City Convention & Visitors Authority. “We know how difficult it was for those groups who were forced to cancel or postpone their events due to the storm and are working with organizers to either accommodate new dates or encourage them to consider Atlantic City for the future.”
Local officials are working very closely with groups whose meetings, conventions or events were impacted by the hurricane. The Historic Boardwalk Hall hosts Carrie Underwood’s concert performance scheduled for Nov. 9 and the Adrien Broner vs. Antonio DeMarco championship boxing match scheduled for Nov. 17.
“These high-profile events will be an excellent showcase for the destination as we let people know that Atlantic City continues to be one of America’s top locations for world-class events, groups and conventions,” said Vasser. “While we are seeking to quickly reschedule as many events as possible that were affected by the storm, we are looking forward to working with all of our valued clients and partners to plan for future events in our world-class destination.”
