Thinking about hosting a conference in Charlotte? You’re in the right place!
Charlotte is becoming a top meeting destination!
When it comes to multi-day conferences, Charlotte checks all the boxes: major airport access, hotels with charm, venues full of personality, and of course warm southern hospitality. But what really brings it to life? A team that knows how to connect the dots.
Charlotte often surprises people and planners with its charm, accessibility, and growing event scene but we know there’s more beneath the surface.
With smaller hotels and a compact downtown (or Uptown, which is what the locals call it!), Charlotte gives groups a sense of exclusivity. But that also means planning requires a local touch to coordinate venues and logistics flawlessly.
That’s exactly what we provide: deep city insight, trusted local connections, and a collaborative approach that makes your conference experience effortless.
Check out this case study for the Global Collaborative Congress on Osseointegration (GCCO). When the group came to our team to produce their inaugural global conference in just eight months we immediately jumped into action and started looking at hotel venues because that is what the group requested and that is what they were accustomed to. With a shorter runway, inventory was low and our client partner was still yearning for something else. That something else was thinking outside of the “hotel box” and pitching a complete buy-out of one of our premier event venues, the Foundation for the Carolinas, that is also walking distance from two unique hotel offerings, one hotel that is boutique and the oldest hotel in Charlotte, The Dunhill, and the second a major hotel brand, DoubleTree by Hilton Charlotte City Center.
Our client partner said “yes”, and we have been in the space for four years, with more room to grow, as the Foundation For the Carolinas has added on to their event space the Carolina Theatre.
Here are a few quick tips to unlock Charlotte’s full potential for your next conference:
- Unexpected Spaces: Think beyond hotel ballrooms! Consider off-the-beaten-path venues to keep your event fresh and memorable.
- Walkable Wins: Many hotels are conveniently located within easy walking distance of the Charlotte Convention Center. For example, the Westin Charlotte connects directly to the center via an uncovered pedestrian bridge, the Hilton Charlotte Uptown is just a quick one-minute walk away, and other great options like the JW Marriott Charlotte and Embassy Suites by Hilton Charlotte Uptown are also nearby.
- Fresh Air Breaks: Incorporate networking walks or yoga sessions at Romare Bearden Park, perfectly situated near the Kimpton Tryon Park Hotel, Grand Bohemian Hotel, Charlotte Marriott Center City, Courtyard Charlotte City Center, and Residence Inn Charlotte Uptown.
Charlotte is rapidly expanding, with new hotels and venues appearing across the city, giving you fresh, exciting options to tailor your event experience. This growth means more choices for accommodations, unique spaces, and the chance to create truly memorable moments in a city that’s evolving alongside your event needs.
