Orange County Convention Center


The award-winning Orange County Convention Center (OCCC), located in the heart of International Drive and only 15 minutes from the Orlando International Airport, provides a multitude of event options in two beautiful buildings – the West and the North-South. Annually, the Center generates approximately $3.9 billion in economic impact for Central Florida. From sporting events to corporate meetings, the OCCC averages nearly 200 events that attract more than 1.5 million attendees each year. As a regional economic engine, the OCCC has demonstrated its flexibility as a trailblazer within the convention and tradeshow industry— affirming its competitiveness and reputation for excellence.

In addition, the OCCC has continued to embrace innovative initiatives that positively impact both the Center and Orange County’s local communities. These efforts include the approval for the Center’s Phase 5A expansion to its North-South Building, which will add 60,000 square feet of meeting space, a grand ballroom and a new building entry along Convention Way. Under the leadership of OCCC Executive Director Mark Tester, the Center has been able to lead the industry forward and continue its unwavering commitment to its surrounding communities
through impactful contributions, groundbreaking innovations, and a fervent focus on partner relationships.
