Can I fit there? Can I get there? Why should I go there?

Yes, yes…and yes! Asheville is the perfect location for your upcoming meeting or convention. Whether your group is large or small, we have the perfect venue for you.

Getting here is easy. Asheville is an easy drive from most of the Eastern United States, and is centrally located in the epicenter of numerous major cities, from Atlanta to New York and Cleveland to Jacksonville. Plus, the Asheville airport offers daily jet service.

Why should you come here? The reasons are as abundant as the stars in our Appalachian skies. The fresh mountain air, an eclectic art scene, and the vibrant buzz of a city on the move provide a creative atmosphere for your event. Groups come here to not just to be informed, but to be inspired. And when your attendees are inspired, amazing things can happen.

The Asheville Convention and Visitors Bureau was instrumental in helping me put together my portion of the NC Speech Language and Hearing Convention 2008. I was charged with the task of Local Arrangements. From the visitors guides to local attraction information to merchants who might donate door prizes! I could not have done without you!

I just wanted to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation to the staff at the Asheville Convention and Visitors Bureau. I called in a panic over producing informative welcome packets for a meeting I was coordinating at Biltmore. You not only did that for me, but went above and beyond by volunteering to add my information sheets to your packets and deliver them to the Inn at Biltmore Estate in time for my first guests. This is the most important meeting I will plan all year, and I have no doubt that your efforts made me look as if I have it all together way more than I actually do. A very genuine thank you to you!

I was more than pleased with the support and assistance that we received from the ACVB! I got so many good contacts for activities in the area. Our group absolutely loved being in Asheville in September! Many thanks to Carli Adams for all her support and help!

Asheville rolled out the red carpet and everyone commented on the courtesy and attentiveness of every single person in shops, restaurants, parks etc. WOW...you should bottle the essence of Asheville and share it with other places in the country. Thank you all so much!

The Summer Conference was a huge success… After reviewing the evaluations from the conference, it looks like Asheville was the "best" conference yet.
