Located in Great Lakes C (4th Floor), Space Lounge is everything you would expect in a space lounge, and so much more. Space Lounge is unique to CONvergence. It is part lounge, part nightclub, part (non-alcoholic) innovative bar, and always out of this world! The Space Lounge features comfy seating, chill music, amusements, and amazing, often interactive, decor. When you step through the Space Lounge portal, you’ll feel like you’ve left the convention hotel and have been transported right to space!
CONvergence 2024 Information Coming Soon!
Below is information from CONvergence 2023 for your reference.
Welcome to the Space Lounge
Space Lounge…the ultraviolet frontier.. Our continuing mission: to explore strange new sounds, to entertain new life and new fandoms…to boldly glow where no one has glowed before.. (Except maybe us – but we promise to always glow in new and interesting ways!)
The Galaxy-class Splounge crew is ready to welcome you aboard. Imagine the holodeck was asked to create a space that is part lounge, part bar (serving all senses except taste), part nightclub, part interactive experience, and make it all glowy… and you’ve entered the Space Lounge. In addition to special events below, we dock at 9:00pm every evening for your entertainment. Give yourself an alien makeover in our glow-salon, take a selfie on our observation deck, play a game in our retro arcade, visit the updated sensory bar (it’s open when the sign says it’s open!), listen to some super-sonic sounds, or just relax in our extra-terrestrial non-hotel seating and enjoy our fully-breathable and otherworldly atmosphere. Set a course for an alternate dimension. Make it glow.
Mainstage music too loud? Nowhere to sit in the parties? Spent too long on one of those terrestrial hotel chairs? Come visit a place where the lighting is lower (and we’re pretty sure the gravity is, too!)

Events & Activities
Space Lounge is at peak performance outside Earth-based solar hours, but special daylight events are not uncommon.
