Let the program set the lunch or dinner plan

Use the convention’s actual session schedule and entry information. A nearby restaurant is useful only if its service works within the break you have.

For a group dinner, make the restaurant booking separately from the event registration. Ask about the party size and dining arrangements rather than treating an ordinary table booking as a private room.

Eating near Charlotte Convention Center: FAQs

Which part of Charlotte is the convention center in?

What should I choose during a short session break?

Look at the current lunch menu and ordering format, then compare the restaurant address with your return route. This guide does not promise a service time.

Does event registration arrange dinner for my colleagues?
