Centrally Located for Convenience

The Civic Center sits at the crossroads of Interstates 40 and 77, providing easy access from multiple areas. Whether attendees are traveling from the east, west, north, or south, the venue’s location makes it a breeze to reach. With free parking and a quick drive from both interstates, you can avoid the congestion and hassle often found at large city venues.

Versatile Space Tailored to Your Needs

The Great Hall at the Statesville Civic Center is incredibly flexible, thanks to its moveable walls. Whether you're hosting a full-scale conference or need break-out rooms for smaller sessions, the venue offers up to seven rooms. For larger gatherings, you can expand the space to seat up to 600 guests for a sit-down dinner or 250 in a main conference room. 

This customizability allows your event to flow seamlessly, whether you're holding keynote addresses, smaller workshops, or team-building sessions. The rooms can be arranged in various styles such as classroom, theater, or banquet, to meet your specific needs.

Hassle-Free Planning and Event Execution

Many conference organizers, especially those working with third-party event planners, are not familiar with local vendors or the intricacies of the venue. The Statesville Civic Center team prides itself on making event planning as easy as possible. From the first call to the final wrap-up, the staff will guide you through the planning process, helping you with everything from room layouts to AV setup.

With basic AV equipment like LCD projectors, screens, microphones, podiums, and an internal sound system, your technical needs are fully covered. The Civic Center can even provide grab-and-go catering options such as coffee, drinks, breakfast, and snacks, adding convenience for your attendees.

Easy Access and Efficient Setup

Compared to larger cities, Statesville offers a more accessible and hassle-free venue. The Civic Center’s loading dock and roll-up doors make setting up large displays, stages, and other event materials a breeze. The ease of access and flexible room configurations mean you’ll spend less time worrying about logistics and more time focusing on your event.

Wi-Fi, Staff Support, and More

One of the most frequently asked questions by conference organizers is about Wi-Fi. Rest assured, the Civic Center offers reliable internet access, a must-have for today’s professional events. Plus, the helpful staff is always on hand to assist with any last-minute needs, ensuring everything runs smoothly on the day of your event.

The Perfect Niche for Mid-Week Conferences

If you’re planning a one-day conference for 150-300 or 300-600 people, especially for companies with multiple locations in the region, the Statesville Civic Center is your perfect match. Mid-week events are particularly well-suited here, offering a hassle-free experience for both attendees and organizers. While overnight events would be even more attractive with the addition of nearby hotels, the current setup works perfectly for single-day gatherings.

Choosing the Statesville Civic Center for your large conference means selecting a venue that prioritizes convenience, flexibility, and outstanding service. From the ideal central location to customizable spaces and hands-on staff, your event is in good hands.
