2024 ANNUAL MEETING LOCATION:
This year’s IESALC Fall Technology Meeting will be held at the Westin Charlotte in uptown Charlotte, North Carolina.
The Queen City lives up to its name, offering visitors and locals the finest experiences. We welcome transplants as readily as we welcome travelers, and our constant growth is a reflection of that. With major industries and Fortune 500 headquarters based here, we’re a city that works hard but also knows how to play hard. That’s why you’ll find funky watering holes, mouthwatering fare and endless entertainment options in the heart of our business districts.
For starters, quick, direct flights and short drive times from many major cities make accessing Charlotte a cinch. The thousands of hotel rooms located in Uptown are known for their plush amenities, stunning skyline views, and proximity to restaurants, entertainment hubs, museums and more. Situated within the compact and walkable convention district, they offer guests and event attendees direct and easy access to the Charlotte Convention Center and other major city facilities.
When you’re off the clock, the city’s numerous public transportation options make navigating to neighborhoods outside of Uptown easy, too. Plus, our vibrant nightlife scene invites you to continue networking after hours.
RESERVE YOUR ROOM:
The hotel room block is now closed. If you missed out, we encourage you to reach out to the Westin Charlotte at (704) 375-2600 and request to be added to the IESALC room block at the conference rate. Honoring the discounted rate is at the hotels discretion now that the block has closed.
