UCI Conference Center

From the classroom to the board room, the UCI Conference Center is a unique blend of exploration and education.

Delivering on the details.

Room names are inspired by nearby tidepools, sandy shores and beachside cliffs of Orange County with interior design ranging from the purely functional to elaborately formal in 55,560 square feet of multi-purpose event space. Whatever the occasion, there’s a setup for your success.

Operating Hours

The UCI Conference Center is open daily from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 a.m., except on University holidays and during the finals week of fall, winter, and spring quarters, when it is open for 24 hours.
