In the heart of the city’s compact, walkable Uptown is the 550,000-square-foot Charlotte Convention Center, a premier meeting space that offers exhibitors numerous amenities, including free Wi-Fi, a food court, other in-house food and beverage options, knowledgeable visitor info services, an on-site UPS store, and more. A 15-minute ride from Charlotte Douglas International Airport and within walking distance of more than 200 restaurants, the convention center sits across the street from a Whole Foods Market and is bookended by The Westin Charlotte Hotel and the Hilton Charlotte Center City. It’s also connected to the NASCAR Hall of Fame via an overstreet walkway.

Four freight elevators, 20 covered loading-dock bays, three concession stands, and in-house electrical and plumbing keep events running smoothly.
