Tulsa Convention Center Information

BOK Center

BOK Center
Opened in September 2008, the BOK Center is downtown Tulsa's state-of-the-art sports and entertainment venue. The $180 million venue, constructed as part of Tulsa's Vision2025 plan, was designed by renowned Argentine architect Cesar Pelli, known for his work on some of the world's tallest buildings. With Tulsa elements of the oil industry and Art Deco architecture influencing the design, the center's dramatic, curved glass façade is an attractive addition to the city skyline. Comprised of 18,041 seats and four party suites, the 550,000-square foot arena is an attractive venue for large scale events. In fact, even before its grand opening the center was set to host performers such as Celine Dion and Neil Diamond and shows such as Cirque du Soleil.

Tulsa Convention Center

Tulsa Convention Center
Winner of the Prime Site Award from Facilities and Destinations magazine in 2007, the Tulsa Convention Center is a 140,000-square-foot complex in the heart of downtown. Currently undergoing renovations as part of the city's Vision2025 plan, the center plans to open 10 new meeting rooms and Oklahoma's largest ballroom at 30,000-square-foot in fall 2009. Today the center boasts column-free exhibit halls totaling 102,600 square feet, a 20,000-square-foot conference hall, a 2,750-square-foot conference room, and a 7,700-square-foot assembly hall surrounded by 14 breakout rooms.

The convention center offers audio-visual equipment and sound, lighting and climate controls to help planners craft a customized atmosphere. The on-site catering staff is capable of serving the largest plated meal in the state for over 3,500 guests. Also noted for its convenience, the Tulsa Convention Center is a short 15-minute ride from the airport, has a 1,403-space parking garage, and is connected by a skybridge to the 417-room Doubletree Hotel Tulsa in downtown. With its experienced staff, affordable rates and wide range of event space, the center has unsurprisingly found that over 85 percent of its clients are repeat clients. These clients represent a wide range of groups from prestigious national associations such as the National Trust for Historic Preservation to state groups such as the Oklahoma Dental Association.

Expo Square
Originally established as a fairground in 1923, the Expo Square area first held a basic pavilion that has since been expanded into an enormous multi-use complex of facilities. More than 400 events are held annually at Expo Square, whose many versatile spaces sprawl outward from its 76-foot-tall "Golden Driller" statue, a nod to the venue's role as host to the International Petroleum Exposition until 1980.

Today, the Expo Square Pavilion has seating for slightly under 6,000 guests in its festival seating, folding-chair seating and 22 VIP skyboxes. Also on the grounds, the QuikTrip Center offers 448,400 total square feet of space on two levels, making it among the largest clearspan facilities in the world. The 43,000-square-foot Central Park Hall has two reception areas and two meeting rooms, among other spaces. Meanwhile, the Built Ford Tough Livestock Complex's 700,000 square feet of arenas and barns, including the 2,750-seat Ford Truck Livestock Arena and 250-seat Mustang Arena, is available for events. To top it all off, many of Expo Square's facilities feature amenities such as concession stands, parking access and dressing and media rooms, and wi-fi is available throughout the grounds.

In fall 2008, Expo Square's offerings will expand yet again with the opening of the Exchange Center. The extremely versatile facility features 58,500 square feet of exhibit space, three meeting rooms and two show offices.
