Centrally located in North Carolina, Winston-Salem is a welcoming meeting destination with a history committed to reinvention and growth. From our rich heritage as a bustling Moravian community to our evolution as a hub for innovation, Winston-Salem knows how to keep things moving. In the past ten years alone, we’ve invested more than $2 billion in our walkable, welcoming downtown.

At the heart of our Forbes Top 10 Best Downtown, guests can access 1,200 hotel rooms and our 150,000-square-foot Benton Convention Center, perfect for gatherings ranging from intimate meetings to large-scale conferences. To make it easy, the Benton is connected via walkways to the Winston-Salem Marriott and Embassy Suites. Once they’re done, meeting guests, exhibitors, and attendees can stroll from their rooms into one of more than 100 downtown restaurants, shops, breweries, and bars.

Our sprawling city includes a variety of unique, historic, and unexpected venues equipped for your next gathering. Whether you need theater seating and the latest technology or an Instagrammable setting in a centuries-old village with costumed interpreters, Winston-Salem has you covered.
