MAKE MEETINGS MEMORABLE IN GREENSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA

Centrally located, rich in culture, and full of unique experiences, Greensboro is the perfect destination for your next meeting or convention.

The Greensboro Complex, located just minutes from downtown, features nine diverse venues, including the iconic First Horizon Coliseum, which seats up to 22,000 guests, the expansive Special Events Center, the intimate Odeon Theatre, and versatile Piedmont Hall. The 7,600-seat White Oak Amphitheater provides an unforgettable evening under the stars.

The Sheraton Greensboro Hotel at Four Seasons and the adjoining Joseph S. Koury Convention Center boast 985 rooms and 250,000 square feet of flexible meeting space, including the area's largest ballroom. The Grandover Resort & Spa, a Wyndham Grand Hotel, offers a 13,000-square-foot ballroom, luxurious spa, and championship golf course.

Getting here is easy. Greensboro's central location between Washington, D.C., and Atlanta provides convenient access by car, plane, or train. Piedmont Triad International Airport (GSO) offers nonstop flights to major hubs, while Interstates 85, 40, and 73 provide convenient driving routes. Rail travel is another effortless option.

From boutique hotels to full-service resorts, Greensboro's accommodations suit all your needs. Experience one of our more than 500 restaurants serving international cuisine, Southern classics, and pit-cooked barbecue, or sample a flight at a craft brewery or cidery.

When the meetings end, the adventures begin. Take a step back in time at Guilford Courthouse National Military Park, the International Civil Rights Center and Museum, and the Greensboro History Museum. Catch a performance at the Steven Tanger Center for the Performing Arts or the Carolina Theatre. Discover more than 150 public art and mural installations or unwind with live local music at a neighborhood venue.

Families and groups will love the Greensboro Science Center, which combines a museum, aquarium, and zoo in one. Experience the zoo from a bird's-eye view on the Science Center's treetop adventure ropes course, SKYWILD, or soar over the lake at the Flyaway Zipline. The Miriam P. Brenner Children's Museum provides more than 20 hands-on exhibits, including its interactive outdoor teaching kitchen.

Known as Tournament Town, sports fans will enjoy sporting events year-round. From basketball to PGA golf, to professional baseball, basketball, hockey (debuting October 2025), and some of the best swimming and diving in the world, there's something for every sports fan.

Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy more than 100 miles of trails for hiking, biking, kayaking, and exploring, or recharge in nature at scenic parks and greenways.
