Historic Downtown Wilmington.
Where History calls home.
In the southeastern corner of North Carolina, you’ll find Wilmington — a picturesque historic port city between the Cape Fear River and the Atlantic Ocean. Quaint, pleasant, and full of southern charm, Wilmington neighbors the beaches of the Cape Fear Coast (Wrightsville Beach, Carolina Beach and Kure Beach).
Long a vacation destination for families and beachcombers, the historic city of Wilmington is also a convention destination for those wanting to inject a bit of fresh air into their businesses.
Affordable, and accessible by car, plane or even boat, Wilmington is as easy to get to as it is to get around and you’ll find plenty to do after the meetings end. The quaint, Historic Downtown is within walking distance of the convention center with shops, restaurants and southern charm around every corner. The Riverwalk beckons the visitor looking to cast deep thoughts or simply unwind with a leisurely stroll. History buffs will enjoy visiting nearby Ft. Fisher, a Civil War battlefield listed as a National Historical Landmark; or climbing aboard the USS Battleship North Carolina —a memorial and exhibit to honor North Carolina’s World War II veterans. If you hear the river calling, why not set sail and explore the many inlets and discover your own treasured view. Or follow the footsteps of movie stars with a tour of the Screen Gems Studio home of “One Tree Hill” and “Dawson’s Creek.” Wherever you find yourself in Wilmington NC you won’t be far from the fun or the business at hand.
Have your next conference at the new Wilmington Convention Center and enjoy the business world from a fresh perspective.
