Orange County Convention Center
Having surpassed 35 years of service, the Orange County Convention Center (OCCC) might be the second-largest in the country in terms of size — but it’s No. 1 as far as countless convention and meeting planners are concerned. The OCCC is also constantly expanding, and you can read about the latest and upcoming enhancements here.
Today, the OCCC provides 2.1 million square feet of exhibition space, as well as 480,000 square feet of flexible meeting space. Its convenient location — just 11 miles from Orlando International Airport (MCO) — and easy walkability to area hotels, restaurants and entertainment make it an enticing option for planners and attendees alike.
