Mayor Terry Hartwick and the North Little Rock City Council unveiled the North Little Rock Conference Center on Tuesday, Oct. 8, in a special ceremony. The 31,000-square-foot conference center will be constructed at 120 Main Street, the site of the former North Little Rock City Services Building.
Former North Little Rock Mayor Joe Smith, along with NLR Chamber President and CEO Derrell Hartwick, also attended the unveiling. Hundreds of hospitality representatives, residents and business owners were seen there as well.
“For years, I have turned people away to other cities that wanted a venue of this size. We are excited to welcome vendors, exhibits, and various types of shows to our city,” said Mayor Hartwick.
The new center is anticipated to be finished in early 2026 and will feature a ballroom, a pre-function area and a prep kitchen. For dinner services, the center will accommodate up to 1,000 people; it will hold up to 1,500 for an event or show.
