WHERE TO EAT

In the southeastern corner of North Carolina, you’ll find Wilmington — a picturesque historic port city between the Cape Fear River and the Atlantic Ocean. Quaint, pleasant, and full of southern charm, Wilmington neighbors three beaches: Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach, and Kure Beach. A vacation destination for families and beachcombers; the historic city of Wilmington is also a convention destination for those wanting to inject a bit of fresh air into their businesses or a wedding destination to start a new life together.

Affordable, and accessible by car, plane or even boat, Wilmington is as easy to get to as it is to get around and you’ll find plenty to do after the meetings end. The historic downtown is within walking distance of the Wilmington Convention Center with shops, restaurants, convenient hotels, and southern charm around every corner.

Have your next conference at the Wilmington Convention Center and enjoy the business world from a fresh perspective. To learn more about Wilmington and the Beaches, visit our local partners:
