Wildwoods Convention Center

Wildwoods Convention Center is a large event facility located directly on the boardwalk with an oceanfront arena that faces the Atlantic Ocean and the beach. The building provides flexible space for different types of gatherings and conventions in a single structure.

The center opened in 2001 as a replacement for an older venue from 1972, following a major redevelopment of the boardwalk site. The new building marked a modernization of the area's event facilities.

The center draws visitors for major sporting events, particularly basketball tournaments that bring together athletes and spectators from across the country. It has become a destination where sports competition combines with the seaside setting.

The center sits on the boardwalk and is easy to reach while walking along the waterfront promenade. An on-site information office helps groups find lodging and plan their stay.

The building sits in a region where roughly one-third of the American population can reach it within a day's drive, making it a major hub for national events. This strategic location has made it the chosen venue for large sports competitions.
