ConCarolinas will be returning to the Hilton Charlotte University Place for 2018 and beyond.
The Hilton Charlotte University Place has shown a willingness to work with our group to provide the best accommodations for our needs. Next year we will be working to make the gallery breakout rooms cooler by adding in oscillating fans. We will also offer load in for dealers on Thursday evening and Friday morning. We will be asking our attendees and guests to use the doors in Lakeview and Glenwaters to enter and exit rather than the doors at the bottom of the escalator. (These doors will not be blocked but we will ask people to use the other doors.)
While not hotel related, we want to let our attendees and guests know that we have heard you. From now on, each panel will have a 30 minute buffer between panels to allow for exiting and entering.
We will also be providing better signage for overflow parking. While we’d like to say everyone will get a space in the front row of the Hilton, that is not something that is reasonable to expect. At many conventions the nearest parking requires you to walk a distance to the venue. If you have a medical disability, please make certain you bring your car placard so that you have access to the available handicap parking.
Another exciting option will be the opening of the LYNX Blue Line. You will be able to travel in to Charlotte or take the LYNX to other areas you’d like to visit.
We are also excited to announce that we will have food trucks back on Saturday and they will be in the valet parking lot. This provides additional options to the already wide variety of restaurants and eateries in the immediate area.
To celebrate the announcement of the venue for 2018, we are offering a $2 discount off of the current membership rate of $30. Click here to register.
