The George R. Brown Convention Center is a convention and exhibition hall owned by the City of Houston and operated by the Houston First Corporation, and is located at 1001 Avenida de las Americas in the Convention Center District of downtown Houston, Texas.

One of the largest convention centers in the U.S., the $104.9 million facility was opened on September 26, 1987, replacing the obsolete Albert Thomas Convention Center (which was later redeveloped into the Bayou Place entertainment complex in the Theater District).

The adjacent Hilton Americas-Houston Hotel is connected to the convention center via several skywalks.
