“Top Out” at Robinson Center

The Little Rock Convention & Visitors Bureau hosted a topping out ceremony for Robinson Center’s new conference facility – celebrating a one-year milestone in the 28-month, $70 million renovation and expansion project. This new meeting/event space addition, on the north side of the facility, offers dramatic enhancements to the center with spectacular views of the Arkansas River and its bridges.


Guests enjoyed exclusive tours of the facility and a ceremonial beam signing.
