... the numbers are horrible. 133 events IS a horrible number when only 9 of those events were conventions.
The center hosted 113 events during their last market year, which included 9 conventions, 12 public shows, 60 banquets and 32 meetings.
Wilmington will never be competitive with the other larger convention markets in our area. We're too small and have less to offer in the way of commercial entertainment. That's why so many of us choose to live here.
Stop trying to turn us into something other than what we are. If you're unhappy with the quiet charm of our area, move somewhere else.
Market, smarket, no matter how you try to pretty it up ...
