If you’re planning a meeting or event in the South, Greensboro brings the charm—and the wow factor. Centrally located between Atlanta and Washington, DC, and in the center of North Carolina, Greensboro offers more than just a place to gather. It’s a destination packed with personality, creativity, and unforgettable experiences.

Start with the music. From national acts and Broadway performances at the Steven Tanger Center for the Performing Arts to local jams at neighborhood favorites like The Flat Iron and Ziggy’s, Greensboro’s live music scene keeps things upbeat. The arts thrive here, too—check out galleries, dance, and theater at the Greensboro Cultural Center, or stroll through town, where public art and murals turn every block into a canvas.

History lovers will find plenty to explore, including the International Civil Rights Center & Museum, where the 1960 Woolworth’s sit-ins sparked a movement. Step further back in time at the Guilford Courthouse National Military Park, where Revolutionary War history comes to life.

Nature is never far away. With more than 100 miles of trails and greenways, lakes, and lush gardens, Greensboro is a breath of fresh air. It’s easy to squeeze in a pre-meeting walk, post-conference paddle, or team-building hike.

And when it comes to food? Get ready to travel the world—no passport needed. Greensboro’s dining scene is a global adventure, with everything from sizzling Korean BBQ and fresh Vietnamese pho to Latin fusion, French pastries, and Southern favorites with a twist.

Greensboro makes it easy for planners and exciting for attendees. With vibrant culture, outdoor fun, rich history, and mouthwatering meals, this city isn’t just meeting-ready—it’s memory-making.
