IMPORTANCE?
convention center: Convention center's
are used for holding conferences and
exhibitions. And Exhibition hall is
the large area hall to display pictures,
sculptures, or other objects of interest that
people notice or admire.
The original convention centers or halls were
in castles and palaces. Originally a hall in a
castle would be designed to allow a large
group of lords, knights and government
officials to attend important meetings with the
king. A more ancient tradition would have the
king or lord decide disputes among his
people.
HISTORY
One of the most famous convention center
debacles happened in France on June 20,
1789. King Louis XVI locked a group known as
the Third Estate out of the meeting hall in
Versailles. This led to the revolutionary group
holding their meeting in an indoor tennis court.
This was the first modern democratic conference
center and lead to the Tennis Court Oath and
the French Revolution.
