Location
Located in the heart of the central business hub of Oklahoma City, OK, held at the stunning Oklahoma City Convention Center, located at 100 Mick Cornett Drive. This is a state-of-the-art building located east of Scissortail Park along Robinson Blvd.
With 500,000 square feet of high-tech, highly desirable meeting space right in the heart of downtown, the Oklahoma City Convention Center is a vital part that makes OKC so dynamic and engaging.. The Convention Center’s design was heavily influenced by its relationship to the surrounding environment. Level 1 relates to the warm earth, Level 2 connects to the horizon line, and Level 3 takes cues from the colorful Oklahoma Sky. Strategic use of color and materiality supported this concept throughout the interior design.
