Come for the meeting. Stay for the mountains.

We know how stressful it can be to select your next meeting or conference venue. Pressure to make everyone happy, outdo your last event and walk away looking like a rock star meeting planner is enough to test even veteran planner. We're the anti-thesis of Vegas and the opposite of harried, over populated cities that offer the same old, same old. We're Blount County. Nestled at the foot of the Great Smoky Mountains within a day's drive of 60% of the US population and an airport with feet of our main conference space. Why not plan your next event in a place where fresh air, blue skies and nature feed the soul? Your guest will leave relaxed and renewed and your meeting will go down in history.
