Virginia Beach's central East Coast location makes it the ideal drive or fly-in destination for all exhibitors.  Approximately four hours southeast of Washington D.C. by car and within a day's drive of a third of the U.S. population, the show location is convenient.  Virginia Beach is also served by most major U.S. airlines at the nearby Norfolk International Airport.  In addition, the resort city's mild climate, seaside lodging, three-mile long oceanfront Boardwalk, historic landmarks, exciting attractions and manicured golf courses offer the ideal opportunity for exhibitors and attendees to mix business with pleasure.  The Virginia Beach Convention Center provides easy access for loading and unloading and stress-free parking.
