Day of Logistics

getting there

The Convention center is located uptown Charlotte at 501 S College St, Charlotte, NC 28202.  We recommend conference participants take advantage of the Lynx Blue Line/light rail.  The “3rd Street/Convention Center” stop will bring you right to the conference! We encourage people to take advantage of this convenience. 

Parking

Attendees who prefer to drive can access multiple parking locations adjacent to the Convention Center. A map of all the parking options can be found here. The closest and most convenient parking garages are at the Westin or NASCAR Hall of Fame. Please consult the individual websites for daily and hourly rates. Driving directions to the Convention Center can be found here.

Any exhibitors who wish to ship their materials directly to the Convention Center before the day of the conference can easily do so! The Convention Center has a UPS office on site. Details can be found here.
