The Orange County Convention Centre (OCCC) is an ideal venue for all occasions and events. With over 20 years of experience in hosting large events, in which it has undergone five major expansions to reach its current ranking, the OCCC is located in the heart of downtown Orange County.

A prime location like the International Drive which is Orlando’s major tourist area adds to the benefits of exhibitors, organisers and visitors. This is because the venue is not alienated from other popular activity spots and allows outsiders to include some time for pleasure along with work. The venue is situated in close proximity to entertainment complexes like Pointe Orlando and attractions like Wet N Wild, Discovery Cove and Islands of Adventure Theme Parks.

With five extensive expansions, the OCCC now offers over seven million square feet of space which has been cleverly divided into five phases. While the first four phases are referred to as the “West Building”, Phase five which was recently unveiled in September 2003 is known as the “North/South Building”. The North/South Building has over 1.1 million square feet of exhibition space and is divided into a North and a South hall which can either be joined into one large area or into four subdivisions according to the requirements of the event. Both the buildings are connected via an elevated walkway.

The OCCC is west of the Orlando International Airport at a distance of just ten miles and can be easily accessed via the “BeeLine Expressway”. Apart from this, taxi services can also be used for the same. Owing to the popularity of the venue, its size and prime location, there are no chances of outsiders losing their way or being unable to find the venue.

While accommodation is often a concern of outsiders, it is hardly a matter to worry about in Orlando as the OCCC is at a short distance from popular high-class hotels like the Ritz-Carlton, Orlando Grande Lakes and the Marriott Residence Inn. Apart from such expensive accommodation options, Orlando also has convenient pocket-friendly alternatives for cost-conscious visitors. Executives can also entertain business associates over meals as the OCCC is at close proximity to fine restaurants that offer various cuisines.

Popularly referred to as “The Centre of Hospitality,” the OCCC has successfully proved itself in the hospitality field to all exhibitors, event organizers and visitors alike. Its services can be enjoyed not only by professionals in the commerce fields for conventions, meetings and trade shows but also by those in the cultural and sports fields. The hub for innumerable events at regional, national and international levels, the OCCC is a preferred choice due to its excellent infrastructure combined with prompt services and favourable location.
