Isolated locations, void of any form of popular enterta<strong>in</strong>ment, are always best. This ensures your “cocktail” hour is a total success. At <strong>the</strong> Myrtle Beach Convention Center, we only have one rule. Host great meet<strong>in</strong>gs. And we do. Our amaz<strong>in</strong>g facilities provide everyth<strong>in</strong>g you need dur<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> convention, and <strong>the</strong> prist<strong>in</strong>e beaches and world-class golf offer endless opportunities for fun when it’s over. Why settle for a drab location when you can come to one of <strong>the</strong> top three tourist dest<strong>in</strong>ations on <strong>the</strong> East Coast?
