About
The Benton Convention Center boasts a contemporary design with spaces that can be customized to suit your needs—everything from expansive exhibit halls to intimate conference rooms. Additionally, the center features over 15 pieces of artwork from North Carolina artists, as well as a changing gallery. The spacious pre-function area is filled with natural light and is sure to make a lasting impression on you and your guests. Our facility seats up to 3,000 people theater-style, or accommodates 1,000 for banquets. Spacious, attractive lobby areas are sure to make a great impression during pre-event registration or receptions. Up to 18 meeting rooms are ideal for breakout sessions--allowing us to create the exact environment you need. The 46,000-square-foot Piedmont Hall can accommodate exhibits, displays, vehicles and competitions. Connected to the convention center is the full-service 319-room Marriott Hotel, which has just completed a $6 million refresh of its guest room corridors, and 15,000 square feet of meeting space.
