Join us for the Southern LEAD Provincial Conference in Charlotte, NC known as the “Queen City” or “The QC”. It is the largest city in North Carolina. Hey financial students, it is still a major financial hub and has the second-largest banking sector after New York. An epicenter of America’s first gold rush. Known for its NASCAR races complete with the Hall of Fame museum a few miles from this year’s hotel. Weather in the Queen City is fair and mild while winter will be welcoming!

Charlotte is a city of tastemakers, chefs, mixologists and brewers who work daily to move Charlotte’s eclectic tastes forward. It’s in the dishes and drinks that you’ll find the Queen City's outstanding flavors. Order a plate of barbecue or a banh mi sandwich. Or test out some of the city’s best offerings by cruising Charlotte Rail Trail, a 3.5-mile stretch of sidewalk along the LYNX Blue Line, which borders economic development and interactive art installations. Snap a selfie with an 18th-century statue. Take in a Broadway show in Uptown. Shop stylish threads in South Park. Enjoy some exercise at the Booty Loop in Myers Park. Groove to live music in NoDa. Whatever you do in Charlotte, we invite you to make it your own.
Once you’re in town, navigating the city is a breeze. With a speedy light rail system, multiple bike-sharing and ride-sharing services.
A perfect city spot for the 2025 Southern LEAD Provincial Conference!

Community Service:
Promising Pages, the Charlotte, NC area book bank, envisions a world where all children have home libraries of self-selected books in which they see themselves reflected and they have made reading a joyful habit for a lifetme. They work to create a culture of book sharing and ownership by collecting new and gently used books and sharing them with children living in the “Book Desert” – those with few, if any books at home.
Please join in a children’s book drive at the Southern LEAD Provincial Conference. The greatest need is Pre-K through 5th grade books.
You can drop off your donations and participate in making bookmarks at the Community Service table.
