Testimonials
Some words about the new Ocean Center from the meeting planners themselves:

Big Stuf Student Camp

The newly renovated Ocean Center was wonderful this year and such a great place for our BigStuf Conference. We appreciate the Ocean Center folks who are a great team and a pleasure to work with on planning an event such as this.

The State Cheer and Dance Championships by Spirit Team

“The new and improved ocean center is perfect for a major event – first class facilities adjacent to multiple hotels and restaurants, all in an ocean-front setting. Our customers had a wonderful experience."

Jim Thorpe

National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association

“From our initial contact with the sales representatives to on-site conference management, the Ocean Center staff is extremely knowledgeable, professional, efficient, and always friendly. With the renovations the facility is more versatile and offers a variety of options for groups of all sizes. We coordinate an annual conference for approximately 800 participants that includes numerous sessions with audiovisual requirements, exhibits, and food and beverage service for three days. In every instance, the Ocean Center staff has worked tirelessly to provide us with a superior quality of service and pleasant attitude. We highly recommend the Ocean Center and staff. Come and experience the difference!”

Marilyn Myers-Bolduc

Florida Onsite Wastewater Association

“I have managed trade shows at the Ocean Center for the past eight years. What separates the Ocean Center from other convention centers, and hotels with exhibit space, is the "family" attitude, cooperation, and support they provide their customers. The Ocean Center takes the extra step to make sure the customer is satisfied. All staff, including the onsite caterer, have been very cooperative. I am looking forward to returning to the Ocean Center in 2009 and 2010!”

Bill Carson

2008 Home Show

“The facility was top-notch, and I was amazed by the ease of the load in. We were able to get 350 booths in faster than I had even imagined. Attendance to our event was up from years’ past. The Ocean Center staff anticipated our needs before we voiced them. And, the size of the facility will allow the show to grow even more in the future. We cannot wait to come back and have our partnership for many years to come. I see even more events that we’ll be able to bring there. All in all, we were thrilled to be at the Ocean Center.”

National High School Drill Team Championships

"We believe the Ocean Center has been integral to the growth of the Sports Network International events in Volusia County. While the building is impressive and a big part of this success, by far a bigger reason is the service and caring of the employees from the top down that continues to drive this growth, and make our staff and our guests feel like welcome visitors to the Daytona Beach area."

Samantha Ste. Claire, President/CEO
Sports Network International

24th Clinical Virology Symposium

“After 23 years, we had outgrown our prior location. The Ocean Center was all we hoped it would be, providing ample EXCELLENT space, wonderful, responsive staff, great food service, and the type of flexibility we needed. We know of no better facility for our meeting, and we will be back for the forseeable future. The recent expansion means we can grow along with our attendee and exhibitor support, and utilize the space to our best advantage!”

Sandi Soto, Coordinator
University of South Florida College of Medicine

2008 Fall Boat Show

“The Ocean Center staff has always been great to work with, they are second to none and they make my job easy. The exhibit hall is world-class, and I think the facility is better than Orlando or Miami. The new exhibit hall is light and airy and it’s a tremendous place to hold a show or convention. I’d recommend the Ocean Center to anyone.”
