We envy folks attending meetings at the newly renovated and expanded Anaheim Convention Center. They are greeted with year-round mild, sunny weather and an amazing array of nearby attractions that will satisfy the whole family. And best of all Southern California’s premier venue, Disney Resorts®, is directly across the street. The wise convention attendee arrives a few days early to take advantage of the location- 30 minutes from world famous California beaches and a multitude of Orange County fun attractions to please all ages.

Many great hotels are within walking distance of the Convention Center and Disney Resorts®. Edison Field, home of the Anaheim Angels, is a short drive as is Arrowhead Pond, a popular sport and concert scene. Restaurants are plentiful in this area with a wide variety of choices. We suggest taking advantage of such California favorites as fresh seafood, Mexican specialties and east-west cuisine during your visit.

Other travelers to Anaheim can enjoy the many events presented at the Center- everything from home, auto and boat shows to cheerleading competitions to religious gatherings to the latest in tattoo offerings.
