Testimonials

“Asheville has proven to be a wonderful site for our championship basketball tournament. The civic ownership of the tournament, coupled with great restaurants, shopping and attractions makes Asheville a slam dunk for us.

Things to Do in Asheville

“We chose Asheville for our conference not only for the beauty of the setting, but for its rich and diverse culture and support of the arts. As a very walkable city, Asheville provided our attendees a background of entertainment, amazing food, and creative drinks while learning about how to make a living in the field of jewelry and metals. The large amount of galleries in the downtown are provided for a rich exhibition crawl filled with unique and varied exhibitions.
