"Some cities offer the duality of big-city facilities and a small-town charm, and that mix is served up in Greenville, SC, with a large dose of southern hospitality. Centrally located on the East Coast between Atlanta and Charlotte, Greenville is a popular destination for corporate meetings, trade shows, banquets & special events.”
