About Us

The Carolina First Center, formerly Palmetto Expo Center, is one of the nation's largest convention and meeting facilities with more than 280,000 square feet of exhibit space and 60,000 square feet of meeting and conference space. With a $22 million enhancement near completion, the Carolina First Center will continue to offer unbeatable flexibility and value to groups who are looking to expand their event.

Carolina First Center is a popular regional destination for corporate meetings, tradeshows, banquets, and special events. A strong area manufacturing economy, particularly in automotive services, has helped make Greenville an attractive site for related activities.

The facility is owned by the City of Greenville and managed by SMG, the world leader in venue management, marketing, and development. Centrally located between Atlanta and Charlotte.
