Work and play share the same stage in Abingdon

Abingdon is an ideal place for a meeting, convention, corporate retreat or other business function. Not only will you find exceptional state-of-the-art meeting facilities, a wide variety of lodging choices, and lots of one-of-a-kind event venues like Southwest Virginia Cultural Center and Marketplace, historic buildings, museums, and galleries, you will also find plenty of fun things to enjoy once the work is done. Meeting attendees can catch a performance at the famous Barter Theatre, rent bikes for a ride on the Virginia Creeper Trail or shop and dine in the historic and pedestrian-friendly downtown district.

Meetings, conventions, corporate retreats and other special events are right at home in Abingdon. After all, people have been meeting here for centuries, including Native Americans, revolutionary war soldiers and even Daniel Boone.
