Yup. My wife is going to convention there next week there, with 500 plus attendances. Believe me, it's the largest conference center in the state.

I know several organizations that have used KCC in recent years. It is especially popular for religious gatherings; I've attended a few myself over the years with the last time being in 2019.

The Koury Convention Center is also the largest "privately" owned convention center between Atlanta and Washington DC.

I've always found it humorous when cities/people make claims like this. I remember when Charlotte would build a tower and proclaim it to be the tallest building between DC and Atlanta. Competing against towers from Winston-Salem, Richmond, and Arlington... not much competition.
