 » Destination: Myrtle Beach

## The oceanfront destination caters to every meeting’s must-haves.

From a convenient convention center to abundant outdoor adventure options, this coastal South Carolina city is sure to please.

**Outdoor exploration.** Get attendees out of the traditional meeting space and take advantage of local sights as venues. Consider holding events at an antebellum plantation, the 17,500-acre wildlife refuge Hobcaw Barony, the area’s two oceanfront state parks, or the world-renowned Brookgreen Gardens . Brookgreen is home to more than 1,400 works by 300 of the greatest names in American sculpture, as well as 50-plus acres of beautiful Lowcountry gardens.

**Accessible convention center.** The Myrtle Beach Convention Center features 250,000 square feet of flexible meeting space. Ranging from a 100,700-square-foot, column-free exhibition hall to 20 breakout meeting rooms and a 17,000-square-foot ballroom, the convention center can accommodate almost every group. The space, located less than a mile from the beach, also has a 30,000-square-foot outdoor events plaza.

**Once-in-a-lifetime experiences.** Looking to offer attendees something they’ll always remember? Consider an offsite event at The Institute of Greatly Endangered and Rare Species (TIGERS) . They’ll go on a guided safari experience through a 50-acre preserve and get up close and personal with tigers, wolves and other endangered species. A percentage of the revenue from the TIGERS experience goes to the Rare Species Fund, which supports international conservation efforts.
