Step 1: Choose a professional partner. The Gatlinburg Visitors & Convention Bureau is a thoroughly professional organization dedicated to making meetings more efficient, effective, and economical by offering both a better facility and better service. In fact, we were named the number one Visitors and Convention Bureau in the Southeast.

With 188,000 square feet of new meeting and exhibit space, we can accommodate groups large and small, whether for seminars, conventions, exhibitions, trade shows, or even sporting events.

Second, select an exceptional facility. The Great Hall provides 67,000 square feet of exhibition space, 50,000 square feet of which is free-span space with a ceiling height of 30 feet. It can accommodate 350 10 x 10 booths, or be divided into three halls for separate shows. An additional 14,000 square foot hall is available in the adjoining Mills complex.

The Gallery area is 38,200 square feet, including 23 meeting rooms, pre-function space, two private parlors, and a special VIP media suite. A private elevator can whisk you to the Parkway Tower suite, where balconies provide a breath-taking mountain view.

Our kitchen is fully staffed with a master chef and we provide exceptional food, flowers, wine and spirits for groups from 10 to 3,000.We can help you plan a wide-range of menus and themes for almost any event you could imagine.

Next, let us help you plan your event. Our experienced Bureau staff can help you with hotel leads, bids, proposals, customized presentations, site inspections, housing, promotional literature, brochures, registration assistance, spouse programs, youth activities, and access to local vendors. We have audio, video, computer links, telephone hook-ups, and just about anything else you might need for a successful meeting.
