COBO Center is Michigan's World Class meeting and convention facility. The 2.4
million square foot complex, located on the bank of the Detroit River, is the centerpiece of
downtown Detroit's Civic Center. COBO Center offers convenience, comfort, service reliability
and fine food. Overlooking the Detroit River and our international neighbor, Windsor Canada, our
elegant banquet rooms and over 80 meeting rooms totaling 178,446 square feet equip COBO
Center to accommodate capacities from 30 to 10,000. COBO Center also boasts one of the largest
contiguous exhibit floor space in North America and two adjacent arenas (COBO Arena and Joe
Louis Arena).
COBO is physically linked to all downtown Detroit hotels and entertainment
districts by the Detroit People Mover, the only elevated railway system of its kind in
the United States.
COBO Center's physical capabilities are only exceeded by our unrivaled level of care
and customer service. The management, staff and suppliers of COBO Center stand poised and
ready to handle the unique demands of your special event, from the initial planning stages through
the event's completion.
COBO Center has a proven track record of handling international events like the
International G-7 Job Summit, the annual North American International Auto Show, the annual
Society of Automotive Engineers International Congress, and frequent national events, i.e. visits by
the President, the Vice President and foreign heads of state. COBO's Staff is well versed in the
cultural and diplomatic sensitivities involved in an international event.
