2014 Meeting Information

Welcome to Spartanburg, South Carolina 
Spartanburg is nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, between 
Atlanta, GA and Charlotte, NC and less than an hour from Asheville, NC. We are 
a great location for your next vacation and a perfect spot if you are planning a 
convention or meeting. 
We have put together itineraries for your family and co-workers that will make 
your visit stress-free. Whether they are interested in history, art, shopping or the 
outdoors, Spartanburg has something for them. Plus there is always a festival or 
special event happening to keep things lively. At the end of the day you’ll have a 
choice between four-star hotels, cozy bed & breakfasts, and everything in 
between. 
Revolutionary? Why yes, we are. 
You will see this theme repeated on this website and on your visit. Why? 
Because we were born of the American Revolution. The Spartan regiment rose 
up from the South Carolina backcountry to fight for independence. Fierce battles 
fought on our soil were a turning point in our nation’s struggle for freedom. 
Today our lives revolve around our rich cultural offerings, our extensive 
educational opportunities, our musical heritage, our racing legacy, our food and 
the simple abundance of our stunning landscape. We are at the crossroads of all 
that is dynamic about the modern South as we continue to evolve and change 
the course of history. We are Spartanburg, South Carolina. Revolutionary.
