The Los Santos Conference Center, also known simply as Conference Center, or as Los Santos Convention Center, is a large public-use facility based on the Los Angeles Convention Center that appears in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Description[]
The center is located in the southern portion of Los Santos, San Andreas, immediately west of City Hall and Pershing Square. It is also surrounded by the districts of Commerce, Verona Beach and Verdant Bluffs. The structure itself is inaccessible to the player. Motivational speaker Mike Andrews is announced to "come soon" to the convention center, according to two radio commercials.
Weapons and Pickups[]
- Silenced 9mm - east block, at the entrance of the building

Trivia[]
- An early pre-release GTA San Andreas screenshot depicting Carl Johnson on a BMX in front of the Conference Center building was released through the Internet to coincide with the 2004 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), which is held annually at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
- The Conference Center has its own HUD area label as if it were a district.
- Both radio commercials for motivational speaker Mike Andrews mistakenly referred to him as "coming soon to the Los Santos Convention Center" instead of the Conference Center. Even to the point where it sounds like the beginning announcer is actually saying "Los Angeles" Convention Center instead of "Los Santos".
- The Convention Center is based on the Los Angeles one, but in its post-1993 configuration (which added the famous glass box tower on the south side).
