MEETING SAFELY TODAY FOR A STRONGER TOMORROW
The OCCC is leading the way in providing safe events in North America's safest, most trusted destination, Orlando. Through a strategic data-driven approach and deliberate planning prioritizing health and safety, the OCCC is providing controlled gatherings and unique experiences, so we can Meet Safely Today for a Stronger Tomorrow.
Following a three-pronged strategy, the OCCC phased in modified operations by implementing its Recovery and Resiliency Guidelines, receiving the Global Biorisk Advisory Council's (GBAC) Star Accreditation, and pioneering a collaboration with Orlando Health for a new medical concierge program that provides an industry-defining standard on how conventions will operate.
The Center of Hospitality was one of the first convention centers in North America to release its safety policies and host large-scale conventions – safely and without incident. Since the onset of the pandemic, the OCCC has hosted about 60 events and has maintained its stellar reputation for customer service and flexibility.
