After our Most Walkable NFL Stadiums post, we asked “what should we rank next?”

Convention centers was one of the most popular responses. So here it is:

Rank	Convention Center	City	Walk Score
1	The Moscone Center	San Francisco, CA	98
1	America’s Center	St. Louis, MO	98
3	Reno-Sparks Convention Center	Reno, NV	97
4	Salt Palace Convention Center	Salt Lake City, UT	95
5	Phoenix Convention Center	Phoenix, AZ	94
6	Georgia World Congress Center	Atlanta, GA	92
7	The Colorado Convention Center	Denver, CO	91
7	Tampa Convention Center	Tampa, FL	91

As the folks at Convene, The Magazine of the Professional Convention Management Association, asked, do you know your meeting’s Walk Score?

This list of convention centers is from Cvent and only includes convention centers with over 650,000 square feet of meeting space.

You for some reason left out the Anaheim Convention Center, which is over 800,000 sq. feet.

Unfortunately, it only scores a 60.
