That’s a pretty long while. I guess the yearly conventions will have to postpone or find a temporary location

Cincinnati's Duke Energy Convention Center will close for 18 months amid renovations in 2024
(www.bizjournals.com)
It looks like the companies that organize major conventions here were blindsided by this news.
The current plan is to push all conventions to Sharonville during renovations, which these companies say is not large enough for their shows.
Good find on that article. I can understand a few months but 18 takes an entire year’s worth of conventions out. Granted, I rarely go to any events there but it definitely has a place.
