Venue Information
Oklahoma City is located in the center of the U.S. and is home to the Federal Aviation Administration's Aeronautical Center. In addition to being FAA's focal point for flight inspection, the Aeronautical Center is also FAA's primary training and supply support facility.
Oklahoma is known for its American Indian heritage; Oklahoma means, "Land of the Red People" in the 
Choctaw Language. Although Oklahoma has been a state for only 100 years, Oklahoma City is a growing metropolis with many attractions, events, restaurants, and amenities. For more information on Oklahoma City, visit www.okccvb.org.
The Cox Convention Center totals over one million square feet and contains state-of-the-art audio-visual capabilities. The Exhibit Hall is both functional and beautiful, with dramatic custom-designed chandeliers, high ceilings, and a grand curving sandstone staircase.
The Cox Convention Center is just a quick walk away from a vibrant, urban entertainment district - the revitalized Bricktown historical district, featuring a variety of new canal-side restaurants, clubs, music venues, and attractions.
