Arvest Convention Center

The Arvest Convention Center (formerly the Tulsa Assembly Center, Tulsa Convention Center, Maxwell Convention Center, and Cox Business Convention Center) is a 275,000 square foot convention center located in downtown Tulsa, Oklahoma.

The Arvest Convention Center (ACC) was originally named Tulsa Assembly Center. It was later renamed Maxwell Convention Center after former mayor James L. Maxwell.

In February 2013, Cox Communications acquired the naming rights to the facility and renamed it the Cox Business Center. In 2020, "Convention" was added to the name. In 2025, Arvest Bank acquired the naming rights and renamed it to the Arvest Convention Center.

The ACC began renovations to convert the arena into a banquet hall in 2018, with a scheduled completion date in 2020.

The ACC's banquet hall was the largest in the state at 30,000 square feet. However, the venue's $55 million renovations replaced the arena with the Grand Hall, a second Banquet space of 41,470 square feet, and 38 foot ceilings.

It also added a new South Plaza at the main entrance on the east side. This includes a three-story glass atrium, valet drop-off, and over 4,000 square feet of pre-function event space. The venue now offers over 275,000 square feet of total rentable space.

The renovation is part of Vision Tulsa, a community improvement initiative funded by a 0.6% increased sales tax in Tulsa County.

The Bank of Oklahoma Center, or BOK Center, which the City of Tulsa owns, is the sister venue to CBCC, with both being managed by Oak View Group. The BOK Center is a 19,199-seat arena and home to the ECHL Tulsa Oilers, and the IFL (Indoor Football League) Tulsa Oilers. It also hosts major concerts and entertainment shows. It was designed to accommodate arena football, hockey, basketball, concerts, and similar events. The BOK is the former home of the Tulsa Shock of the Women's National Basketball Association and the Tulsa Talons of the Arena Football League.
