WE LIVE FOR MAGIC

We live for the lights, the music, the food, the learning, the inspiration, and the togetherness. We live for positive change and transformative experiences that blaze a path toward endless possibilities. The awesome potential of every event keeps us on our toes and, sometimes, knee-deep in caffeine. But the magic of pulling it all off? Totally worth it.

WE GET IT DONE

Last minute request? Done. Idea about how to do something better? Done. Guest who wants something we’ve never heard of—now, if possible? Done. And done. YES is the answer. Determination, creativity and teamwork are how we deliver on it.

18 loading bays, 3 drive-in ramps, with easy access to all venue levels

After unloading, relocate your vehicle to the OCC garage or parking lot so others can unload as well.

Our venue features 18 loading bays, all with load levelers, and 20-foot-high by 18-foot-wide door capacities. There is 8,000 square feet of indoor dock space with access to exhibit halls through three drive-in ramps and three roll-up doors. Door sizes vary from 20-22 feet tall to 18-20 feet wide.

Smooth and efficient unloading

Work closely with your show manager to ensure that you know your assigned load in time and the appropriate ramp to use.

Freight shipments

All freight should be shipped directly to your show decorator. Ask your show manager for details.

We will not accept or ship exhibitor freight or drayage. For larger conventions and trade shows, request shipping services through your organization’s third party decorator.

If you do not have a decorator but need to ship items weighing less than 150 pounds, call the local UPS Store at 503-230-1808 to arrange services.

Exhibitor parking availability

Parking may be made available as necessary or on a show-by-show basis. Depending on the event, overflow parking may be directed to one or more satellite lots and/or garages in the area surrounding the convention center.

Contact your show manager for questions related to event parking.

Recreational vehicle parking
