Event Services

The OCCC Event Management Section is comprised of a team of expert Event Managers, with a combined 100+ years of events planning and entertainment production experience. Each contracted OCCC event is assigned an Event Manager, who will work with your show management team, as they prepare to host your event at our facility. Your Event Manager (EM) is the primary contact for all show management planning, acting as a liaison for all services provided by the Center and OCCC on-site service partners. Show managers and meeting planners are required to deliver event/show specifications, including floor plans, meeting room requests and overall show program information to their Event Managers, once the event/ show specifications have been established. From the initial site visit, followed by planning meetings and constant communication and interaction, your Event Manager is standing by to ensure that your proposed event program transitions from concept to reality, as smoothly as possible. Once all final event specifications have been received, your Event Manager will then finalize the process of distributing show information to other pertinent sections and service partners within the Convention Center. Your Event Manager will also arrange a pre-convention meeting for your management team to discuss and review top-line program information or last-minute changes with OCCC support staff, prior to your first show day.
