The Waterloo Convention Center opened as the Conway Civic Center in the 1970s. A hotel and parking ramp were connected to the facility via skywalk in the 1980's.

In 2021, as a part of a multi-million dollar transformation to meet the needs of today's event planner, the center was renamed the Waterloo Convention Center, reflecting pride in the community and the transformation of the center.
