Education has always been an
integral dimension of Clemson. Thus, it is a fitting location to host lifelong
learning seminars, educational symposiums, association workshops, corporate retreats, or
reunions. A variety of conference facilities and hotels are available in the Clemson
area to accommodate the needs of any group. In addition, event planners have easy
access to the extensive educational resources of Clemson University, and attendees love
the ambiance of our friendly college town and the multitude of recreational opportunities.
The Conference Center and Inn at Clemson University is a premier meeting facility.
Located on the outskirts of the Clemson University campus, the Madren Continuing Education
and Conference Center provides 17,000 square feet of meeting space, featuring a tiered
auditorium, grand ballroom, executive board room, and plush pre-function space.
Designed and equipped with communication in mind, the center offers worldwide
video-conference technology as just one of its many special features. The adjacent
89-room James F. Martin Inn allows guests to stay on-site and enjoy a championship-level
golf course.
Also on Clemson University's campus is

variety of other attractions all year long. This incredible
venue offers a unique atmosphere for conferences, weddings, dinners,
graduations, dances, and more. The coliseum can be set to
