Conferences That Run on Schedule
Plenary, breakouts, catering and 571 guest rooms in one connected property, so your programme is less dependent on off-site transportation.
Conferences
One Property, the Whole Programme
Multi-day conferences ask a lot of a venue: a room big enough for the opening plenary, breakouts running concurrently nearby, somewhere to feed everyone without losing half an hour to transit, and beds close enough that delegates actually make the 8 a.m. session. OCEC brings it together in one integrated property: two divisible ballrooms seating up to 1,000 and 948 theatre-style, two amphitheatres, 37 meeting spaces, and 571 guest rooms connected directly to the conference floor.
