Myrtle Beach, S.C., may be best known for its 60 miles of beaches, but it’s also a destination where meetings come together with the ease of a sea breeze. The setting is relaxed, but the meeting experience still feels polished. For planners, that balance creates meetings that stay light and focused during the day and are packed with fun after the final session.
Touch-down just off the beach
Everything about Myrtle Beach is relaxed, so naturally, getting here is refreshingly straightforward. The Myrtle Beach International Airport (MYR) offers nonstop flights from dozens of major U.S. cities and is just minutes from the area’s top hotels, the downtown convention center, and the beach.
From touch-down to check-in, the experience is simple, and that convenience extends throughout the destination. Plus, short drive times keep attendees connected to the meeting venue, hotels, and attractions across 14 coastal communities, without the need for complicated transportation plans.
Meeting venues that fit every need
Myrtle Beach’s venues support meetings of every size. Altogether, there is more than 500,000 square feet of meeting space throughout the destination. On its own, the Myrtle Beach Convention Center anchors the destination, with more than 100,000 square feet of exhibit space, a grand ballroom, and several breakout rooms. Plus, the adjoining Sheraton Myrtle Beach hotel makes for an easy morning commute, further simplifying logistics.
The Embassy Suites Myrtle Beach Resort pairs 70,000 square feet of meeting space with 745 guest rooms; its onsite Black Drum Brewing restaurant offers multiple spaces for meetings and networking events and features Carolina brews and barbecue. Across the destination, even more hotels offer flexible meeting spaces, excellent support staff, and easy access to attractions.
When the meetings end, the fun begins
When meetings break, Myrtle Beach delivers easy options for connection and downtime. Waterfront dining at Greg Norman Australian Grille sets the tone for relaxed yet elevated group dinners, while the new mini-golf concept PopStroke adds friendly competition and tasty bar bites to the agenda.
For groups looking for an unforgettable evening experience, Polynesian Fire Productions’ Luau combines dinner with live music, cultural performances, and fire dancing. The Carolina Opry, one of the many renowned theaters in Myrtle Beach, has been entertaining visitors for more than 40 years with variety shows, tribute performances, and more.
