Major flexibility The 250,000-square-foot Myrtle Beach Convention Center is one of the largest and most flexible facilities on the East Coast. Last June, the center hosted “Antiques Roadshow,” the highest-rated series on PBS, seen by almost 10 million viewers every week. “The marketing value of being televised was incredible,” said Rita Harrell, CEM, sales manager at the center. “The show producers couldn’t have been more professional, and the event provided significant economic impact to our city during a shoulder weekend.”
Exhibit-hall space • 100,800 square feet (column-free and divisible into three halls)

and prefunction areas are wired with a secure, fiber-optic “backbone” that provides Wi-Fi throughout the facility. And exhibitors will appreciate that water, electricity, cable, and telecommunications access are available every 30 feet inside the center’s exhibit hall. No great convention center is complete
without a great hotel partner next door. Attendees will love the 400-room Sheraton Myrtle Beach Convention Center Hotel, con- veniently attached to the Myrtle Beach Con- vention Center. Not only does the hotel offer recently renovated guest rooms, the prop- erty is also the center’s exclusive F&B pro- vider, with the capability to whip up anything from creative hors d’oeuvres to show-stop- ping seven-course dinners for 1,000 guests. When the meeting concludes, attendees can unwind in the city’s entertainment district at
Broadway at the Beach, a vast complex of attractions, nightlife, restaurants, and shop- ping, just a few blocks away from the center.
