MYRTLE BEACH – THE PERFECT PLACE TO MEET
Myrtle Beach , South Carolina - or "The Beach" as locals and repeat travelers call it - is the ideal place to host any meeting or convention. In Myrtle Beach, top-notch meeting and event facilities combine with 60 miles of sunny, sandy beaches and the finest Southern hospitality. When 19 million people visit every year just for fun, you can be sure your group will find plenty of ways to enjoy their time outside of the meeting. The Myrtle Beach International Airport is conveniently located close to downtown and offers service from 10 airlines and more than 50 nonstop destinations. It's a short ride from the heart of Myrtle Beach and the convention center, a GBAC-accredited facility with a 100,000-square-foot exhibit hall, an 18,000-square-foot grand ballroom and an attached 400-room luxury hotel. Large enough and flexible enough to host any size meeting or convention, the Myrtle Beach Convention Center's location puts it near the downtown Boardwalk, which features the SkyWheel, great restaurants, live music and entertainment. When it comes to accommodations, there are plenty of ways to stay in Myrtle Beach. There are 157,000 rooms in the area, including many properties that boast over 300 rooms and their own meeting facilities. Your guests could find themselves in a resort, hotel, beach cottage or golf village - many of which are oceanfront and a mere mile from the convention center. The best part about meetings and conventions at The Beach might have to be everything you can do outside of the meeting room. There are 60 miles of beaches great for relaxation, water sports and fishing, and live music is playing all day and night, either in the area's 2,000-plus restaurants and bars or in one of 12 theaters. A great starting point for post-meeting fun would be one of the many entertainment, dining and shopping districts in the area, like downtown Myrtle Beach, Broadway at the Beach, Barefoot Landing and The Market Common. Meetings in Myrtle Beach are a breeze to plan for. People love coming to The Beach and The Beach loves to show people a good time. Start planning your next meeting or convention - the team at the Myrtle Beach Convention and Visitors Bureau is always more than happy to help. Get connected at MyrtleBeachMeetings.com.
