A vacation awaits your meeting in Daytona Beach, Florida, home to the “World’s Most Famous Beach.” With new properties and new experiences, plus affordability and accessibility, Daytona Beach is a destination that exceeds all expectations for hosting events and conventions.
With more than 12,000 guest rooms and 300,000 square feet of meeting space in hotels located both on and off the beach, Daytona Beach checks all the boxes and provides a first-class experience that meets the needs of attendees. From large meeting space, anchored by the premier Ocean Center Convention Complex, to flexible and creative venues such as Daytona International Speedway, there’s a space and a place for your group.
Attendees can quickly go from the boardrooms and ballrooms to the beach—especially when they’re gathering at the Ocean Center, one of the largest beachfront convention centers in Florida. This world-class venue serves as the area’s convention, entertainment, and sports complex, just 400 feet from the Atlantic Ocean. The venue features more than 205,000 square feet of flexible indoor and outdoor meeting space, is conveniently located close to major hotels and restaurants, and is just 10 minutes from Daytona Beach International Airport.
Many hotels are within walking distance of the Ocean Center, including:

- The 12-story oceanfront Max Beach Resort
No matter where you meet in Daytona Beach, you’re always within minutes of adventures. Attendees can sink their toes in the sand along 23 miles of beaches, experience high-speed thrills at Daytona International Speedway, and, of course, delight their palates with an eclectic dining scene. Climb the 203 steps to Ponce Inlet Lighthouse, Florida’s tallest lighthouse, for spectacular 360-degree views of the Intracoastal Waterway.
