There are many destinations for hosting meetings in the Carolinas, but only one offers the best of the Carolina Coast — 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.
Wilmington’s walkable Convention District is one of the biggest draws. The city’s multi-use Convention District is located riverfront and within the city’s walkable River District — all connected by a scenic Riverwalk that makes it easy to get around. The Convention District offers outstanding accommodations and meeting facilities. Multiple nearby hotels with nearly 900 rooms and suites are all located within walking distance of the convention center and connected by the Riverwalk.
The sleek, 107,000-square-foot Wilmington Convention Center, a 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 that helps 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 options for wellness and/or networking activities offered during breaks.
From full-service hotels and resorts with waterfront views to brand-name lodging perfect for overflow, the area has easy access to three beach towns (Carolina, Kure and Wrightsville) and is home to more than 8,000 hotel guest rooms and suites.
