The Orange County Convention Center is a convention center located in Orlando, Florida.

The OCCC offers 7,000,000 sq ft of total space, 2,100,000 sq ft of which is exhibit space. The complex is located on the south end of International Drive, a major tourist area in Orlando. Solar panels on the roof of the South Concourse provide 1 MW of power.

The original building (the "West Concourse") once housed an 11,300 seat arena from 1983 to 1992. During its time, it hosted concerts by popular artists including Madonna, Tina Turner, Styx, Aerosmith, Motley Crue and Hall and Oates.
