Stay connected Not many downtowns have both a river and a waterfall — and those are just two of the many reasons why Greenville is one of the most popular cities to visit in the Southeast right now.

SC CVB offers meeting planners. To help increase attendance, the Greenville SC CVB can assist with marketing efforts, including pre-promotion at the previous year’s event and providing planners with communication materials like save-the-date cards, advertise- ments, and more. The Greenville SC CVB also offers groups access to partnership programs with local businesses, including retail stores and restaurants, to help market their event locally through welcome signage and attendee discounts. For support during and after their event, meeting planners can depend on a dedicated convention-services team member who can assist with everything from volunteer programs to social media.


Greenville’s unique blend of Southern


charm, unexpected air of cosmopolitan cool, and natural beauty has made it a must-visit destination. From a thriving downtown lined with art galleries, theaters, shops, and 100- plus restaurants, to the lakes, rivers, and trails that look out on the Blue Ridge Mountains, Greenville has it all.
