Plan Meetings Along the Scenic Outer Banks Coast

Meetings & Conferences

Increase convention attendance by choosing a destination that suits “bleisure” (business+leisure) travelers. The Outer Banks of North Carolina combines 100 miles of public beaches, historic attractions, a family friendly coastal atmosphere for extending a business trip into a vacation, and meeting venues that help make conferences affordable.

From a luxurious four diamond resort to inviting seaside properties, groups can find distinctive amenities and settings across the area.

An early expression of Outer Banks hospitality came in 1900, when Bill Tate, Postmaster of Kitty Hawk, NC, wrote to the Wright Brothers offering his assistance, convenience, and welcome as they considered bringing their machine to the area.
