Convention Center Intl Drive Orlando FL: Visitor Guide

Quick Answer: Which Convention Center Address?

Do not use the venue’s mailing P.O. Box as a driving destination. Admission and opening hours depend on the individual event.

Convention Center Parking Rates & Rules

OCCC operates visitor parking at the West and North/South buildings, with additional parking at the Destination Parkway Garage. Entry is generally first come, first served. Follow the signs for your specific event rather than assuming every lot is open.

Rates are subject to event conditions and availability. Confirm posted pricing before payment.

How to prepay for parking

1. Confirm the date and concourse for your event.
2. Open the official OCCC parking page.
3. Select the official Prepay for Parking option.
4. Choose the appropriate event or date, if available.
5. Review price, taxes, entry instructions and any applicable vehicle restrictions.
6. Complete payment and save your QR code or receipt.
7. At arrival, follow event parking signs and present your code as instructed.

West, North & South Concourse: Which Entrance?

The North and South concourses belong to the same main building complex. The West and North/South buildings are linked by the Oversight Pedestrian Bridge, which includes moving sidewalks. It is useful when an event spans both buildings, but allow additional walking time.

Example: Read the room code before entering

A room beginning with W generally points you toward the West Building. An N room points toward North, while S identifies South. Confirm the exact number and floor on your event agenda, because registration may be at a different location from your session.

Floor Plan and Building Layout

OCCC covers approximately 7 million square feet across its facilities. Its published venue information lists more than 2 million square feet of exhibition space. The size makes advance wayfinding particularly important.

How to locate your hall

1. Find the building and hall identifier on your conference confirmation.
2. Check the official interactive floor plans.
3. Select West or North/South.
4. Locate the floor and room number, plus the nearest registration entrance.
5. When onsite, follow the event-specific overhead signs.

Document reference: Official 34-page OCCC facility floor-plan PDF includes exhibit hall layouts, bridge locations and meeting-room diagrams.

Upcoming Events, Admission & Tickets

OCCC hosts exhibitions, conventions, professional conferences, sporting competitions and public shows. There is no single admission price or fixed public opening schedule for every event.

How to find the correct event

1. Open the official OCCC event calendar.
2. Find your event by name or date.
3. Confirm whether it is at the West, North or South Concourse.
4. Open the organizer information for tickets, eligibility and registration.
5. Save your event confirmation and the correct building address.

Getting to OCCC from Orlando International Airport

Orlando International Airport (MCO) is about 12 miles from the convention center, according to OCCC. Your travel time varies with traffic and the building entrance you need.

Driving from MCO

1. Follow airport exit signs toward SR 528 West.
2. Take the International Drive exit (Exit 1).
3. Continue north along International Drive.
4. Follow signage for your assigned OCCC building and event parking lot.
5. Use the correct entrance address and allow extra time for major shows.

Check the official driving directions for additional approaches from Interstate 4 and other Orlando roads.

I-RIDE Trolley and Public Transportation

The I-RIDE Trolley serves the International Drive tourism corridor, including the convention center, hotels, restaurants, shopping areas and nearby attractions.

How to use the trolley for your event

1. Identify whether your hotel is along the Red or Green Line.
2. Use the official route map to locate the nearest stop and direction.
3. Confirm the stop closest to your assigned West or North/South entrance.
4. Purchase the appropriate fare or pass, or prepare exact cash for a single ride.
5. Check predicted arrivals before leaving your hotel.

View the I-RIDE operating guide and real-time trolley tracking.

Hotels Near the Convention Center

Hotel choice matters because the convention center has buildings on opposite sides of International Drive. A room near West may not be the most convenient location for a South Concourse event.

How to choose a hotel

1. Identify your event concourse before booking.
2. Compare the hotel’s walking route to the correct registration entrance.
3. Check whether a skybridge or event shuttle is available for your dates.
4. Compare total costs, including parking, resort fees and taxes.
5. Consider the cancellation deadline if your event dates might change.

A hotel being described as “near the convention center” does not necessarily mean its entrance is near your particular exhibit hall.

Wi-Fi, Food, Accessibility & Guest Services

Lost & found contacts

FedEx Office: OCCC lists the West Concourse business center as generally open 8 AM–5 PM, Monday–Sunday. North/South hours vary with event requirements. For business center assistance call 407-363-2831.

Things to Do Near International Drive

Visitors with time after their event can explore the International Drive district. These attractions are separate from OCCC and have their own schedules and admission policies.

Exhibitors: Deliveries, Booth Services & Logistics

Exhibitors need additional planning beyond visitor registration. Shipping directly to the building without approved show instructions can cause delivery delays.

1. Read your exhibitor manual and confirm the exact hall and booth number.
2. Check freight delivery procedures with the official show contractor.
3. Order electricity, internet and other booth services through authorized providers.
4. Confirm move-in, unloading and loading-dock restrictions.
5. Verify exhibitor parking instructions; event rates can differ.
