Oceanfront Destinations Meetings at the South Jersey Shore


The South Jersey Shore’s beautiful beaches and rolling waves present an iconic picture for a postcard, and also serve as the perfect lure to net record attendance numbers for group meetings, conferences and trade shows.


But there’s a lot more drawing group business here than just the natural scenery. Ample and desirable meeting space, hotel accommodations, entertainment and dining options make this an ideal - and year round - group destination.


The Atlantic City Convention Center, for example, is home to nearly 500,000-square feet of meeting space, five exhibit halls, 45 meeting rooms and 29 covered loading docks, and the building recently received the prestigious Gold LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Certification. Meet AC is the sales and marketing force that supports the center, responsible for marketing and attendance building.


Housing attendees is no problem in Atlantic City with its inventory of 17,500 hotel rooms, and there’s an abundance of casino resorts, including Tropicana, Borgata, Resorts, Caesars, Bally’s, Harrah’s Waterfront Conference Center, Ocean Resort, Golden Nugget, and Hard Rock.


When meetings wrap up for the day, attendees will want to head to AC’s world-famous boardwalk, which is located along the beach and Atlantic Ocean. The resort’s activities include: the Orange Loop, which is steps off the boardwalk and features three blocks of restaurants, bars, live music, coffee shops and more; Steel Pier with its amusements and Observation Wheel, the third tallest wheel in the nation; as well as dozens of shows and concerts at the city’s casino resorts and Boardwalk Hall.


Climbing the 228 steps of the Absecon Lighthouse is exhilarating, as are the views from the top, and touring the Little Water Distillery, Atlantic City’s first and only distill- ery, makes for a “spirited” adventure. These activities are sure to build up an appetite among attendees, and luckily, the variety of dining choices available will please every taste and budget, from local favorites to celebrity chef inspired dining. Attendees will want to extend their stay just to sample as many of the resort’s diverse restaurants as possible (both in and out of the casino hotels).
