Nestled in the heart of North Carolina, Greensboro offers a perfect blend of modern amenities, Southern charm, and hospitality. We met with the Visit Greensboro, NC team to talk about how their destination is a remarkable place for meetings and events.

What makes Greensboro unique among other event destinations in the South East?

Greensboro is truly a hidden gem! Where else can you experience good "Southern Charm" with a big city feel? We have a little bit of EVERYTHING for EVERYONE, from history to cultural arts, exciting and thrill-seeking adventures for the young and young at heart, and every kind of restaurant to satisfy any palate. And we have no plans on slowing down!

What draws faith-based event planners to host their events in Greensboro?

One word: CONVENIENCE! Very few 3rd-tier cities offer what Greensboro brings to the table. We are easy to access, with four major interstates running through our city, and only an hour from Charlotte and Raleigh. Piedmont Triad International Airport is also just minutes from downtown Greensboro. In the middle of our charming city is the Koury Convention Center inside the Sheraton Greensboro at Four Seasons, with 250,000 square feet of flexible meeting space and 985 sleeping rooms, ALL UNDER ONE ROOF. Greensboro brings convenience back to the planner with unrivaled personal service and a caring team that walks you through every step. We can't wait to host your next event!
