  • Host Committee's Guide to the Charlotte Region
    Host Committee’s Guide to the Charlotte Region No matter what kind of adventure you’re craving, Charlotte and Mecklenburg County have got you covered. For decades, Charlotte has had a reputation as a financial and business hub, with entertainment and culture as an afterthought. Those days are long past. While research, banking, health care, energy, and technology still make Charlotte a bustling center of commerce, it is undeniable that the Queen City is no longer the “trifling place” that General Cornwallis once described. The Charlotte you will experience in 2014 has transformed from the sleepy after-hours city that it was when it last hosted ICMA’s Annual Conference in 2003. Banking may have helped this transformation, but new cultural and recreational amenities have played a major role. Amid a growing cityscape, the Charlotte-Mecklenburg County region has become a destination that delivers cultural attractions and distractions, dining and nightlife for every taste. But rest assured: the past decade of growth has not stripped Charlotte of its warmth and southern charm. This sophisticated city has still managed to retain its small-town feel. Charlotte is a city where Olympic-caliber adventurers rub elbows with financial leaders. A city that appeals to both NASCAR heroes and culture mavens. A city where northern newcomers exchange smiles on the street with Carolina natives. Charlotte’s Center City is easy to navigate, and many uptown destinations are within a walkable distance from the conference hotels. Even if you’re looking to explore something off the beaten path, you’re in luck: Charlotte has many mass transit options to help you get where you’re going, no matter where in town you may be.
