The City of Angels — Los Angeles — is well known for its many hotels, which afford companies, organizations and associations with a variety of space to accommodate their meetings and events. But the city has a limited number of large spaces designed to accommodate crowds up to 4,000. Perhaps the city's best kept secret is the Expo Center adjoining the Shrine Auditorium.

For improved guest service, the center is furnished with air conditioning and heating and an enclosed entry from the new parking structure. The center features complete industrial kitchen facilities, updated restrooms facilities, has 34,000 square feet of floor space on the main level and features 20,000 square feet of space in it unusual, open mezzanine overlooking the ground floor. As many as 4,000 people can make use of the Expo Center at one time.

In much the same way that the Shrine Auditorium has played host to some of the world's most loved and watched performances, the Expo Center has been home to a variety of events such as: Concerts, production rehearsals, auto shows; antique shows; a cross-section of domestic trade shows; conventions; international trade exhibits; seminars; location shoots, and has even been used as a roller skating rink!

Last, but not least, the Shrine Expo Center is utilized by nearly every entertainment company which performs upon the Shrine stage for rehearsals, dinners, adjunct shows, set construction and scenery storage. Events held there include: the Academy Awards Governors Ball, post show press and green rooms for the Grammy’s, the American Music Awards, the Soul Train Music Awards and the televised production of the American Comedy Awards. It is important and useful space not usually found in theaters across the country and around the world.
