Its accessibility has drawn some of the world’s most prominent trade shows and conferences, creating a hub for discovery and collaboration. The NPE: The Plastics Show has committed to holding their event in Orlando through 2027, bringing in 60,000 attendees every three years. And InfoComm saw more than 40,000 visitors during its June 2019 event.
Breathtaking Venue
As the country’s second-largest, the Orange County Convention Center (OCCC) comes in at 2.1 million square feet of exhibit space with more to come in 2023. Boasting ample connectivity, extraordinary conference rooms, more than 150 meetings hotels and five retail/dining/entertainment complexes (complete with a hydroponic garden for locally sourced ingredients), it’s the perfect place to set up shop for any business event.
