In Winston-Salem, meetings unfold in a downtown that’s built for connection.
Recognized as one of Forbes’ Top 10 Downtowns, the city center pairs easy walkability with a surprising depth of venues, from the Benton Convention Center to character-rich spaces and design-forward hotels—all within a few blocks.
Here, planners can host with confidence and guests can explore without logistics getting in the way. More than 1,200 hotel rooms sit in the downtown core, placing attendees steps from meeting spaces, restaurants, and after-hours experiences. Between sessions, that proximity pays off—locally owned restaurants with chef-driven kitchens, an arts district bursting with color, plus craft beverage and coffee spots deliver an experience that feels both elevated and distinctly Winston-Salem.
It’s a setting where everything works together: venues, hotels, and walkable streets that keeps your group connected, engaged, and immersed in the city from arrival to closing reception.
