“Together SC has orchestrated an annual gathering of our state’s nonprofit leaders for over twenty years. To facilitate participation, each year we partner with a different community. In 2015 we had 600-700 join us for three days at the Spartanburg Marriott.
If I had my druthers, we’d hold our summit there every year.
Hands down, they offer the best combination of comfortable meeting rooms, attentive hotel staff, free parking, affordable hotel rooms, great restaurants nearby and engaged community leaders of any hotel we’ve worked with in the state.”
Madeleine McGee | President, Together SC
“Spartanburg was the first remote location for our annual conference, and it turned out to be a fantastic choice! We can’t say enough about the Marriott, its central location, and the wonderful Southern hospitality. Our attendees loved our scavenger hunt through downtown Spartanburg. It’s such a great walk- and bike-friendly community, and it has so many healthy food options. We think the beauty of the area and the relaxing atmosphere contributed to our memorable experience.”
