Powered by people and strengthened by partnership 🤝

There’s a lot that goes into making the Orange County Convention Center a big part of Central Florida’s tourism industry, and it starts with the people who work there. New research from Rosen College, in collaboration with Orange County, Florida Government and the Convention Center, explores their experiences, what they get from their work, and what they give back to the community.

Led by Associate Dean Dr. Manuel Rivera, the research positions OCCC as a “People-Powered Public Asset,” introducing a human-centered perspective on how we understand the value and impact of major public infrastructure, beyond traditional economic indicators. The research team also consists of Dr. Stephen Pratt, Dr. Frank Badu Baiden, and Margaret Zorrilla-Cortez.
