The Major Difference between them would be the size of group it can manage. In Conference Centers usually a small group number can be managed, however Convention Hotels have larger space to accomodate larger group of invitees. Services may also differ between Convention Hotels and Conference Centers.

Convention Hotels are the places where there are events happening with large number of people gathering for a common purpose or haveing an agenda.  For example a meeting of any group of people for satisfying their personal agendas

 

whereas a conference centre is a place where people come together for sharing, gaining and improving their knowledge.

The main difference is that a conference center usually has lodging attached to it, and offers a higher level of service for its events than a convention center. A conference center typically has several types of meeting rooms, whereas a convention center will typically consist only of exhibition halls.
