Host City

SouthernLeadProvincialConference

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!
