Navigating and Parking in Orlando

The OCCC is located on International Drive (I-Drive) which is also the address for the GlassBuild hotels. The I-Ride Trolley is the exclusive, convenient and affordable transportation to hundreds of exciting Orlando destinations with the International Drive area. The trolley operates daily from 8:00am to 10:30pm. The I-Ride Trolley is ideal for leisurely rides, but not recommended for commuting to/from the GlassBuild Tradeshow since it makes multiple stops along the route.
