Show more about this destination Market Specialty: Association, Religious, Citywide Conventions Geographic Territory: North Carolina, Northeast Location: Same as DMO “Winston-Salem is easy to love. Imagine a place where there are actually four real seasons. Spring and fall are spectacular and winter is easy. Ours is a city that is large enough to have something for everyone, yet small enough for meeting planners and attendees to take advantage of all there is to see and do. And you never get caught in traffic. At Visit Winston-Salem we are passionate about our destination, and about the success of meetings and events. Let us show you why we say our passion starts with you!
