Planning a company event in South Carolina

South Carolina combines Charleston, a compact historic city known for its restaurants, with golf resorts on the sea islands and a growing business centre around Greenville. It suits incentive trips and leadership retreats more than very large conferences.

When to go

Spring and autumn are the most comfortable seasons and the busiest, especially in Charleston. Summer is hot and humid and falls within the hurricane season on the coast. Winter is mild and quieter, which can help with availability.

Getting the team there

Charleston International has direct flights from many US cities, and Greenville-Spartanburg serves the upstate. Hilton Head is reached through Savannah in Georgia, and Myrtle Beach has its own airport. International attendees usually connect through Charlotte, Atlanta or another hub.

Historic hotels and island resorts

Charleston has boutique and historic hotels with meeting rooms within walking distance of restaurants, though large ballrooms are limited. Kiawah Island and Hilton Head have resorts with conference space, golf and beach, and Greenville has hotels for business meetings.

Activities

Golf on championship courses at Kiawah and Hilton Head, sailing in Charleston Harbor, walking tours of the historic district, oyster roasts, Lowcountry cooking classes and kayaking in the marshes. In the upstate, hiking in the Blue Ridge foothills.
