Convention Centers
Located just 15 minutes from Orlando International Airport, the Orange County Convention Center (OCCC) offers a number of flexible meeting spaces among two buildings, the West Building and the North/South Building. Overall, the center has 2.1 million square feet of event space, making it the second-largest convention center in the country.
Opened in 1983, the West Building has over 1.1 million square feet of exhibit space, 49 meeting rooms, and 141 breakouts. Take advantage of the 2,643-seat Chapin Theater and 200-seat lecture hall, as well as the 62,182-square-foot Valencia Room, a multipurpose dining and general session event space that can accommodate up to 6,000 people. The West Building also has a full-service restaurant and four food courts.
Upon its opening, the North/South Building doubled the size of the convention center. Now an acclaimed landmark in Central Florida, it features 80-foot-high glass walls, arched entrances, spacious interiors, and an extensive catwalk network. Among its 950,282 square feet of exhibition space are two 92,000-square-foot assembly areas and 25 meeting rooms. Two full-service restaurants and four food courts are also in the building, making the center an ideal Orlando meeting facility.
Just as extensive as the center's event and meeting site options are its amenities. The OCCC can provide in-house electric, plumbing, rigging, and technical services, as well as wireless mobility throughout the facility. It has been recognized as the No. 1 convention center in the United States and has expanded five times in its 30-year history. The OCCC is wrapping up a five-year, $187.5 million capital improvement plan, which includes new carpet and furniture groupings in one of its existing exhibit halls, the Tangerine Ballroom, and the all-new Valencia Ballroom. Other new features include digital and wayfinding signage and faster internet access, thanks to network infrastructure upgrades. Renovations will also include a signature meeting room with outdoor Hospitality Terrace, boardrooms, and improvements to life safety, lighting, and utilities services. Planners can take advantage of nearby attractions when they book at the center, as offsite group event opportunities can be arranged at Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando, and SeaWorld Orlando.
The OCCC has onsite parking for 6,227 vehicles, while the I-RIDE Trolley and LYNX public bus service both make stops at the center. Popular rideshare services Uber and Lyft are also available. Orlando delivers on convenience with over 16,800 sleeping rooms among 42 first-class hotels within a 2-mile radius of the convention center.
