OUR PARTNERS

You’re only as good as the company you keep, which is why we are proud to work with some of the best partners in the business.

Working hand-in-hand with our top-notch group of in-house providers, the Knoxville Convention Center is equipped to handle every detail of your event from start to finish. When we say we offer turnkey service, we stand by that promise.

Catering – Here in the South, we care deeply about our food. It typically is the focal point of our social gatherings, and an event’s success can hinge on the quality of the food. That’s why we work exclusively with Savor … Knoxville Catering, our in-house food and beverage provider. Savor prepares all food onsite and uses homegrown food products whenever possible. Our in-house executive chef, Chris Moore, has an extensive culinary background that includes being selected to prepare dinner for a U.S. president.

Décor – ALL Convention and Expo Services (ACES) is dedicated to making every event a standout. ACES routinely transforms our ballrooms and exhibit halls into creative masterpieces, and they want to do the same for you. ACES is a subsidiary of All Occasions Party Rentals

From tables and specialty linens to carpets, drapes, backdrops and stages, ACES has you covered for all your trade show or event needs. The professionals at ACES are able to help you identify the elements needed to make your event a standout or simply turn your existing vision into reality.

Audiovisual Production – Once the table is set, we help put the spotlight on your event through the services of a first-class production team. M&M Productions USA produces major concerts and events worldwide, and stands ready to meet all your audio, video, digital, stage, sound and lighting needs here in Knoxville. From video conferencing to web streaming to screens and microphones, M&M can deliver.

Technology – When Internet service is part of your trade show or event, it is important that the service be seamless. Our partner, showNets, has been in the business of providing Internet and network solutions to convention centers across the United States for more than 33 years.

Our fast, user-friendly Internet service is available at 150 complimentary user positions around the center.
