city files Greensboro, N.C.
Greensboro’s location in the center of North Carolina and on the East Coast makes it the best place to meet. Well known for its South- ern hospitality, Greensboro has big-city ame- nities and small-town appeal. Greensboro is strategically situated at the juncture of three major interstates (I-40, I-85, and I-73) and fea- tures the Piedmont Triad International Airport, with service across the nation. An easy ride to the Smoky Mountains or the Carolina coast, Greensboro is ideal for meetings and play. The largest self-contained hotel/conven-
tion facility between Washington, D.C., and Atlanta is the Koury Convention Center, which offers 250,000 square feet of meeting space and includes the Sheraton Greensboro Hotel at Four Seasons — the city’s largest hotel, with 1,016 rooms all under one roof. The nearby
Meet in the center of it all
Greensboro Coliseum Complex contains a 23,000-seat arena that can be downsized to 11,000 seats. In addition, 150,000 square feet of meeting space awaits your exhibition and breakout needs. Several new venues were added at the Greensboro Coliseum Complex in 2011, including the White Oak Amphithe- atre, a unique outdoor space with seating capacity of 7,600, and the Greensboro Aquat- ic Center, a state-of-the-art swim facility that has been a boon for the city. Greensboro has a variety of entertain-
ment options for outside the meeting room. The International Civil Rights Center and Museum showcases Greensboro’s role in the civil-rights history of the United States. Down- town is also home to Center City Park, the Historical Museum, Cultural Arts Center, Chil-
dren’s Museum, and Edible Schoolyard. And downtown is well known for its nightlife, with a variety of restaurants and entertainment. If golf is your game, tee it up in Greens-
boro, which has more than 20 year-round courses. And coming this summer, the Natu- ral Science Center of Greensboro & Animal Discovery Zoological Park is scheduled to open the Carolina SciQuarium — and it’s sure to entertain all ages.
