The annual Wismettac Sakè (sah keh) & Japanese Food Exhibition 2018 was held on August 4th at the Business Expo Center.The center has a large main room with a smaller space in the front as well as a long rectangular room along side & adjacent to the main room. The rooms are utilitarian and spartan.Nothing lavish nor opulent. It seems to be primarily a working space. There is space in the back for open air demos & activities that require full ventilation such as barbecueing, etc.Only problem was enough parking en site since the parking lot is inadequate for the amount of people who may visit the BEC. When I arrived, the lot was full, and nearby street parking was nil. There was supposed to be overflow parking a few blocks away, but I lucked out when someone left so I could slip in nearby.OK facilities for no nonsense, down to the brass tacks business meetings, mini conferences, symposia. Not suitable for extra large gatherings, conventions, etc. due to lack of parkIng.
This zoo isnt as nice as the smaller Business Expo Center, but it is worth going to. It is very spacious but terrible use of the space and not enough animals to fill the zoo.I would think that for a large city like CA, they would have had a zoo that rivaled SD zoo.
Amazing value for the money and perfect solution for organizing meetings & workshops next to the convention center in Anaheim.Free parking, only two blocks away and amazing staff that made everything possible to accommodate our special needs. Highly reccomended!
The set for the meeting was nice. Adequate parking on site. Easy freeway access. Clean and appears to be well maintained.
Place is clean and professional. We had an all day event there. Lots of spacious meeting rooms. At lunch, we ate buffet style and watched Vince Ferragamo speak and accept an award. Place was a fabulous venue and well taken care of. It had a fairly big parking lot with parking on the street for overflow. I parked under the overpass, in the shade, bonus! There was even a wedding on the other side going on, big place! I give it 5 stars because it was built to be an event center and it gets the job done, well.
Really nice convention center. Stopped by on a business meeting but I now know a great place for all kinds of events. We had a great one ourselves and the staff was super super helpful!
I was a judge at the Orange County Science and Engineering Fair which was held here at the Business Expo. The overall facilities were nice, but parking is scarce. Also, there was some construction going on which made it tricky to get to the building. The front lobby was fine and easy to negotiate, but the room where they had some breakfast for us judges was too cramped.
There was quite a flurry of activity when I stopped by the Business Expo Center at the end of Sept. I had just visited my friend, Jim Shab, the Founder of this versatile event venue, in July when some lighting renovation work had just begun. In 2 months time, I was amazed at all the improvements in lighting, both indoor and outdoor; landscaping; flooring and carpeting; trim work; detailing; doors and hardware; painting; improvements to the security system - and - Jim said there is more to come!In addition to the renovation work going on, the staff was busy setting up for a huge wedding in the beautifully lit up largest space, Hall A, and a class reunion was going on in one of the adjacent spaces. I was impressed with the efficiency Jim and his staff displayed to effortlessly and professionally juggle it all. You could tell these people are seasoned professionals and they know what theyre doing and they do it well.The Business Expo Center has been a successful growing business for a decade and from what I have seen, theyre definitely Poised for Success... Again!Whatever your needs are for one small room to a large hall; any kind of celebration, meetings, seminars, training courses, expos, fairs, conferences - give any of the talented group of event staff a call at the Business Expo Center, strategically located in the Anaheim Platinum Triangle, in the heart of Orange County. I believe youll get the BEST service for the BEST price.
I think for a different event, this place would have been fine, but the one I attended was way too big for this place. There wasnt nearly enough parking, I suspect it was filled beyond capacity to a dangerous degree, and the sound system was TERRIBLE, which was important, since this was a music-intensive event. Unfortunately I cant know for sure if the problems I saw were due to the venue, or the event planners, so take this with a grain of salt.
Very spacious. Lots of good food, depending on who you have cater and plenty of parking.
Nice space. The event I attended was well managed and not overcrowded. I would consider this venue for an event.
Elegant professional meeting rooms and spacious banquet hall with state of the art lights. Great for wedding or private parties.
Unfortunately my daughters school was not finished being constructed, so the school rented out the Expo Center for over a month. They have been extremely accommodating and although I was hesitant at first I am extremely happy they went this route.
Great location for events. Near freeways, adequate parking, food venues also close. Location is well maintained, facilities clean.
Great place to plan an event with multiple space options. Last October My wife and I had our Wedding Reception Halloween Costume Party and our event coordinator James was extremely helpful and accommodating. They even helped us in getting two kegs from our favorite Brewery to have at our party.
Very classy and upscale center. Spacious with plenty of parking around the area.
We worked as a photo booth at their venue and it is very clean and staff is extremely friendly. We look forward to working more events there.
From small group meetings to large scale events, the Business Expo Center is a convenient place to do business. As Logistics Director of the Orange Coast College Vietnamese Student Associations Benefit Concert and Fashion Show, the Expo Center administrative staff and technical staff were more than helpful in price and rooming accommodations. Great service, great venue, and a large capacity for parking, I recommend this place to anyone.
An great expo center for trade shows with minimalistic meeting space. A creative team could product an amazing event here with outside decor and audio visual. Its a blank canvas. A touch light on parking but a friendly staff.
Good place.I was there for job orientation, wide conference room. Air conditioned.A lot of parking spots.Close to the highway and the city.No services there, just business offices.
Very spacious for business event but not enough parking for big event. I would have my company events in it but not my daughters wedding. Very plain.
Conference, event, banquet? Wedding? This is the place to gather. Easy to get to, plenty of parking, intimate settings and affordable. Plenty of space for any event.
We go every year for my husbands work banquet . Very nice place
James & the team went above and beyond to make the event for my bride absolutely wonderful! Fantastic customer service!
Have no respect for their employees. Treat employees like garbage. Especially their cleaning crew, when they are the backbone of their company. Horrible culture. Have interns they use so they can have work done for free. Environment is so bad interns dont come back after just one day of working. Management needs A LOT of improvement, can start by treating ur employees like humans.
Great place to do hold an event. They are extremely flexible with venue design, they have a wide selection of caterers to choose from, and their owner is extremely dedicated to providing the best service. They also have FREE PARKING.
Its hard to say a lot about a place like this because its just a big open rooms but my husbands company had a party there and it seemed to be nicely staffed and clean
Really rude to their staff. A gentleman was being polite to me and a woman yelled at him for talking to a customer. We talked for 30 seconds and he made me feel welcome but the woman who yelled at him made me feel like I needed to leave, myself.
My son friendsister had 15th there..its look really big and nice..
Excellent venue for group meetings and trade shows.
Easy to get to and free parking. I would recommend this place for your next event.
Had a great day of sewing with Moores sewing!!
Company Manager and Owners Training...Nice place easy to simply park and enter.
Was just stranded there, but the operators were of great help!!
Place is alright for business meetings and such. I was there for an OC car show few days ago. The parking lot was pretty small
Its a good place, 2 have fun.....😁
Finding the entrance is challenging, and if thoug drive by its its a challenge getting back quickly.
Great place staff helped everything you need is what they have to help you get up and running.
Nice large convention space.
Great venue for any party or gathering
Nice enough place but they are very expensive. It was more cost-effective to have our event at a local hotel instead.
Attended a conference. Facilities were more than adequate.
Small or large space....good meeting option.
Easy access from 5 freeway. Been to few functions here. Free parking.
Awesome customer service and the owner is amazing!
Had a great time. Everyone was cheerful and pleasant
Large space and a few different rooms for various activities. Comfortable.
Meh. Buffet handled rather oddly. Food was OK, just presented oDdLy. (shrug)
Great space, not so great parking
Very plain. Not enough parking. Not enough rest rooms
Perfect for business meetings & large groups of students taking tests or enrichment classes.
Its convenient and very close to everything in the area, such as, shops, restaurants and the freeways.
Nice facility to hold a small event.
The venue looks old and dated. The chairs have dedicatedly seen better days.
A graduation held there for my granddaughter. I enjoyed myself.
Great place for a small size expo.
Was amazing for Pokemon regionals 👌 cant wait for tommorow
Very hard to fine. Little parking....
Attentive staff; nice accommodations for holding an event.
Great pet convention at this venue.
Great smaller event venue.
Great place to have an event, easy access from the freeway
Easy to get to, and orgaized.
Good place to visit special events there!
The place is very hot not worth going back ever again for any function they put in new air conditioner is but only in a few rooms that were very big the smaller rooms are very hot the ownership is not very cooperative I did not like it when I have to go there and I will not be going back
Awesome place for expos and conventions for your business. The project manager will work with you for whatever youre looking for.
Very important, have this location, here in Anaheim, for take care some issues.
The walls are very thin so if you plan on having a family venture, look someplace else. Just right next door to us, there was a party and you could hear the loud music they were playing, while we are trying to recognize achievements of our family members.
Very clean and very nice place.
Too hot and rooms were not set up well. They need to get the a/c checked.
Great place to have a party lots of room !
The craziest Brandy Melville sale yet!! It was a zoo with so many sleeping bags and chairs.
Made for a nice Christmas party

Great place to hold a meeting
