It's hard finding up-to-date comparisons of convention center size, but as of 2017, there were at least 10 other convention centers in the US with as much or more exhibit space than Anaheim. OCCC is the second largest in the country behind Chicago's McCormick Place.
Size is not the sole determining factor - nor did I say Anaheim was the biggest. Many shows stay out of the old major east/north cities due to the overbearing unions. That includes New York , Chicago, philly, etc.
But one thing is for sure... you don’t want to be in a place that can’t handle your scope.
Anaheim, vegas, and Orlando are popular spots due to their good blend of exhibitor relations and scale
