There are many destinations for hosting meetings in the Carolinas, but only one offers the quintessential Carolina Coastal Experience: Wilmington, NC and Island Beaches.
To meet here is to encounter a premier destination that offers the perfect combination of city and beach experiences. From the intuitive layout of our Convention District, with walkable access to shops, restaurants and vibrant nightlife, to memorable coastal activities at three island beaches just minutes away, Wilmington and Beaches checks every box and offers planners fresh possibilities.
Here, an iconic city’s historic charm and rich past blend seamlessly with modern design and new attractions. Groups can have urban and island experiences all in the span of a single event. Attendees and their families will be compelled to arrive early or stay late and turn an ordinary event into a transformative getaway that thrills the senses. It’s more than a meeting. It’s an authentic Carolina Coastal Experience teeming with passion, joy, culture, and adventure.
Wilmington’s walkable Convention District is one of the biggest draws. The city’s multiuse riverfront Convention District is within the city’s walkable River District—all connected by a scenic riverwalk that makes it easy to get around.
The sleek, 107,000-square-foot Wilmington Convention Center, part of ASM Global, is the anchor of the Convention District and the largest convention center on the North Carolina coast. Located downtown, it offers sweeping riverfront views and plenty of natural light to bring the outdoors in. It offers meeting capabilities for up to 2,000 people and a variety of spaces, along with surroundings that lead to a positive frame of mind and productivity with access to water views, fresh air, and wellness options or networking activities during breaks.
