Calvin L. Rampton Salt Palace Convention Center

The Salt Palace Convention Centre is among Salt Lake City’s premier venues. It is the third venue to be named the Salt Palace and was founded in 1995.  It is an event complex with about 64896 m2 of available space and an approximate capacity of about 19090 people. It is a venue with a rather avant-garde appearance due to the use of hollow structural steel in exposed forms of application. Since its founding, the Salt Palace has been the hosting site of notable events. Such include for example the Outdoor Retailer Summer Market.

The current Salt Palace is the third venue with this name. The original venue was constructed in 1899 and received its name from the frame structure covered in rock salt pieces. The Salt Palace is alternatively known as the Calvin L Rampton Convention Centre in honour of the 11th governor of Utah. The building has 3 floors with a total of 24 meeting areas. These include a mezzanine separated into two parts, 4 foyers, 1 Grand Ballroom, 14 meeting rooms and 2 exhibition halls. Additionally, there is an outdoor area on the first floor.
