Heart of Oklahoma Expo Center

Heart of Oklahoma Expo Center is a versatile event destination in Shawnee, Oklahoma, offering flexible facilities for conferences, meetings, exhibitions, banquets, agricultural events, rodeos, rallies and large public gatherings. Its principal conference facility combines a substantial open-plan event area with seven upstairs seminar and meeting rooms, allowing organisers to accommodate everything from smaller business sessions to large conferences and receptions.

The Avedis Conference Center provides adaptable layouts, built-in presentation technology, projector and screen options, free Wi-Fi throughout the facility, accessible entrances and parking, and space for theatre-style, classroom, banquet and exhibition arrangements. The venue team can also support event planning with catering, concessions, tables, chairs, stages, dance floors and other practical setup equipment.

Beyond the conference centre, the wider Heart of Oklahoma site includes indoor arenas, an enclosed pavilion and a covered outdoor grandstand. These spaces are suitable for trade shows, livestock events, motorsport, rodeos, concerts, product promotions and community occasions. The Otto Krause Pavilion offers indoor capacity for up to 1,000 guests, while the grandstand and arena areas provide considerably larger outdoor possibilities.

With extensive grounds, adjacent parking, access from major regional routes and an on-site RV park, the venue is well suited to multi-day events and gatherings that need room for exhibitors, vehicles, equipment or overnight stays. Event organisers can contact the professional venue team to discuss availability, room layouts, catering arrangements, technical requirements and the most suitable combination of facilities for their programme.
