For truly memorable conventions and events, consider one of

Norfolk’s many great and unique venues.

Set sail aboard a tall ship schooner or a luxury cruise line.

Arrange an event outside in the picturesque Norfolk Botanical

Garden or inside the nationally acclaimed Tiffany glass

collection at the Chrysler Museum of Art. Enjoy historic

theaters, opera houses and live music venues too. Or, take a

walk on the wild side with an event at the Virginia Zoo.

Norfolk’s heritage and patriotic roots also offer a great setting

for any event at historic homes, onboard the largest battleship

ever built and even tours of the world’s largest naval base.

No matter what kind of setting your group demands, Norfolk

is the perfect destination for your next special event.
