Cox Business Convention Center

Managed by ASM Global, Cox Business Convention Center is 275,000-square-feet of event-focused space located in Tulsa’s vibrant Arena District.

Originally named the Tulsa Assembly Center, the venue opened to the community in 1964 offering office rental space and meeting room space. As the decades passed so did the building’s name, space and purpose.

Today, Cox Business Convention Center has grown into an award-winning all-purpose event center, welcoming some of the greatest artists of all times, such as Elvis, Elton John, Tina Turner, KISS, Keith Urban and countless others. It hosts international conferences, tradeshows, galas, sporting competitions and record-breaking events including Oklahoma’s largest banquet dinner with a guest list of 5,000.

“Our goal is to increase the city of Tulsa’s economy,” Assistant General Manager Angie Teel CMP says. “When we book events, our intention is to have hotel rooms booked, restaurants full and Tulsa shops busy!”

As Tulsa’s population has grown over the decades, so has the need for gala, tradeshow, concert, conference and banquet space. Cox Business Convention Center offers a venue with a long history and brand-new renovations, currently holding the largest ballroom space in Oklahoma at 41,470 square feet.

Another amenity that makes Cox Business Convention Center stand out is Savor…, its in-house catering led by Executive Chef Devin Levine. Voted Chef of the Year twice, Levine achieved one bronze and two silver medals in American Culinary Federation competitions and was voted Best Country Club Chef in Oklahoma.

CBCC also offers ASM Tulsa’s highly experienced technical service team, allowing an experienced AV and IT team to execute extravagant events.

“At Cox Business Convention Center, it’s our mission to be outrageously excellent. We embrace our differences and leverage them to create an amazing workplace,” Teel says. “We’re a diverse family of team members who are passionate about serving our community and we pride ourselves on creating superior experiences for our clients and guests. We strive to maintain a work community based on mutual respect and support, which values everyone’s dignity, abilities and unique contributions. At Cox Business Convention Center, we support a company culture in which a mix of people can come to work, feel comfortable and confident to be themselves, and work in a way that suits them and is able to deliver on business objectives.”
