About the Phoenix Convention Center

The 20th annual Commodity Classic will be held in the West and North Buildings at the Phoenix Convention Center located at 100 N. Third Street in downtown Phoenix

 

The 20th annual Commodity Classic will be held in the West and North Buildings at the Phoenix Convention Center located at 100 N. Third Street in downtown Phoenix. A multiphased $600 million expansion project has nearly tripled the size of the Phoenix Convention Center making it one of the top 20 convention venues in North America. The design of the new convention center aims to reference the unique Arizona landscape. Steel canopies extend over 3rd Street to create shade. The large glass and stone atrium in the West Building represents the unique angles of light of an Arizona canyon. Colors, textures and finishes capture the warm hues of the Sonoran Desert and the cool tones of the Arizona desert sky.

 

The Phoenix Convention Center has made artwork and the inspiration of native environments a critical component of its ongoing vision. Three themes are ever present in the architecture and art work: memory, contrast, and shelter. These themes are also woven throughout the diverse tapestry of artwork commissioned nationally and internationally for the Phoenix Convention Center and publicly displayed here for your viewing pleasure.

Arizona Agriculture

Arizona has more than 20,000 farms and ranches across the state. Cattle and calves are Arizona’s leading agricultural product, followed by dairy production. Arizona ranks second in the U.S. in head lettuce, leaf lettuce, romaine lettuce, cauliflower, broccoli, spinach and cantaloupe production. Arizona’s sunshine and ideal weather allow Arizona farmers to supply the nation with winter vegetables otherwise unavailable in most areas of the country. In fact, in Arizona farmers can be planting and/or harvesting every month of the year! Click here to learn more!
