About us

When it opens in 2016, the Oman Convention & Exhibition Centre (OCEC) will stand out not only for its intelligent design and comprehensive facilities, but because it will also shed light on a newly emerging destination ripe for events of any scale. Encompassing 220,000 square feet of column-free exhibition space, ten meeting rooms, and 3,200-seat and 450-seat auditoriums, the OCEC will also have two banquet halls able to seat 2,350 and 1,000 guests, respectively. In addition, a 4,000-space parking garage, VIP pavilion, food court, speaker preparation room, and business center will complement the facility’s meeting spaces. Although the OCEC will seek to primarily host international and regional conventions, its flexible design will allow it to accommodate exhibitions, concerts, banquets, and a wide range of special events. Also under construction next door is a mixed-use precinct consisting of a shopping mall, commercial business park, and 1,000 hotel rooms, including a five-star JW Marriott, two four-star hotels including a Crowne Plaza, and one three-star property. It is a purpose-built convention center within two miles of an international airport, with direct road access, and in a fully integrated precinct that accommodates the needs of all of its international, regional, and local attendees. Meeting Planners should consider the Sultanate of Oman as it offers a true Arabian experience with traditional souqs, five-star hotels, UNESCO World Heritage sites, plus a just-as-varied landscape of desert, mountains, and 1,200 miles of pristine coastline.

On Purpose Adventures
On Purpose Adventures
Multi-city
Crossed arms. Poked out bottom lips. Eye rolls. Sighs of displeasure. Mention team building, and you might get these reactions. The thought of another ropes course, forced togetherness or (gasp!) trust falls while keeping your already busy team from their work can create more stress than staying at the workplace. But not with On Purpose Adventures. Your group may need team building (focused on skill development/enhancement) or team bonding (focused on relationship-minded activities) or a combination of both. But whatever the activity, it needs to be facilitated WITH purpose and ON purpose. Most team building programs don’t tie the experience into real-world, job-related application. But ours does. On Purpose delivers team building and bonding with a purpose. Our programs are structured around the way your team operates, and can be tailored to fit your specific challenges and goals. Your team will engage in collaborative activities that build communication, cohesiveness, and enhance skills like collective problem solving, while having fun together. Team building and bonding with On Purpose Adventures brings your team members together in exciting, driven, purposeful activities that make a big impression and generate a genuine team response, keeping them productive and engaged. Skill enhancement happens in a real-life relatable structure, so your takeaways aren’t easily forgotten or lost as soon as the fun ends. Let us help you strengthen your team - on purpose.

His recent client list includes such luxury brands as Christian Dior, Louis Vuitton, Manolo Blahnik and Vogue Magazine, as well as events for fashion mogul Donna Karan.
