Convention Services

The Greenville-Pitt County Convention & Visitors Bureau staff would like to thank you for considering our destination for your upcoming event. Our entire hospitality community understands the importance of having visitors in our community, and will do everything possible to ensure that your stay with us is both memorable and a complete success. To say thank you for choosing Greenville-Pitt County as your meeting destination, we encourage you to take advantage of the many convention services we offer to groups holding conventions, meetings, events, and reunions in Greenville-Pitt County.

The Greenville-Pitt County Convention & Visitors Bureau has developed a comprehensive complimentary Convention Services program designed to save the host organization both time and money. We are able to offer these services at no additional charge since a portion of the local hotel/motel occupancy tax goes to fund the CVB’s activities.

Please take a moment to browse through the many services we offer to help make your job a little easier. Again, thank you for considering Greenville-Pitt County as your possible convention destination and the Greenville-Pitt County Convention & Visitors Bureau looks forward to the possibility of working with you!

ACCOMMODATIONS ARRANGEMENTS

As a representative for all the hotels in the Greenville-Pitt County area, the CVB staff can serve as a non-biased source for accommodation information. After determining your meeting and lodging needs, CVB staff will canvas area hotels and solicit availability, rates, menus, audio visual equipment, and other function information for your group. Once this information is obtained on your behalf, we will compile the information into a proposal format and deliver it to you promptly.

The CVB staff can assist with both layout and design of a promotional package to help maximize attendance at your next meeting, event, or reunion. CVB staff can also prepare and distribute specific information on Greenville-Pitt County that will be helpful to your attendees. Reciprocal links are available so attendees can access information over the web.

The Greenville-Pitt County Convention & Visitors Bureau maintains an extensive collection of brochures and maps on Greenville-Pitt County, Eastern North Carolina, as well as the entire state.
