New Spring Youth Conference

"There is not a better facility in Daytona Beach. The Staff are all true professionals, so attentive and easy to work with. Looking forward to next year!"

Kick International

"The Ocean Center is a beautiful facility, large enough to host several functions at the same time but small enough to make maneuvering and finding meeting rooms easy. It's clean and up-to-date and the food was great. As a planner for a large convention, I heard a lot of compliments about the food and service. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our meeting."

We have been in convention facilities throughout the country and find that the Ocean Center is the best all around in quality and customer service. Our event has evolved and expanded through the years as has the Ocean Center. Our success year after year is because of effective collaboration with the Ocean Center staff who consistently meets all of our expectations and more. Come experience the difference!"

“The Daytona Beach Ocean Center wowed us for the Hines Ever After Wedding. The food was amazing, the service was impeccable, and they turned our clients Happy Ever After into a reality.  They are hands down the best venue in the Volusia County area to host any event you may be planning.”

~ Krystal Riddle – CFO and Planner
Heaven and Earth Delights – full service catering

"The newly expanded Ocean Center is perfect for a major event such as Championships. The facilities are first class. The hotels and restaurants are within walking distance. And of course, having the beach across the street is a major draw for our competitors and their families."

~ Jim Thorp, President
Spirit Team State Cheer & Dance Championships

"Thanks to the Daytona Beach Area Convention & Visitors Bureau and the Ocean Center for flawless execution of our 2012 National Championship event. Ticketing, hospitality, security, everything was buttoned up. And the chef and banquet staff did things we had not even thought of. Our hungry wrestlers were delighted!"

~ Jim Giunta, Executive Director
National Collegiate Wrestling Association

“The Ocean Center’s personal approach and attention to detail have ensured the success of our event and we are grateful. We initially chose the Ocean Center for size and availability. However, our continued relationship has been built on reliability and customer services.”

~ Mike Higbe, President
Florida Federation of Colorguard Circuit Championships

“We saw the plans for the Ocean Center exhibit hall several years ago and really liked the layout. And its location, right across the street from the beach, attracted our attention. Sometimes we get so engrossed in planning the event itself that we forget that our attendees have a whole range of experiences outside of the playing venue. The event has really grown, and we have a 25 percent increase in the number of teams this year from 2012.”
