I just found out that I will be hosting a meeting for my company. It will be small (15-20 people) but with folks from all over the US. Not yet sure if it will be spring or fall but will be in '08 most likely over a weekend. Our business meeting will be in Cary.
I've only been here a couple years and wonder what would show off the area best. I may want to take folks on one social event (for example we went to Churchill downs when me met in Louisville). I don't think we'll have enough time to go to the beach...
Also will need to pick a couple places to eat that can handle the group,
Depending on when you are doing the event, a Carolina Hurricane's game would be really fun. Also lots of local food always goes over well with people from out of state, for the life of me I can't think of where so will leave that to others .
You might also try the area around 42nd Street Oyster Bar in Raleigh. Try to include Bar B Que. Are they going to do golf? Depending on the budget - most everyone is interested in Pinehurst. Great Spa, Golf, shopping...
A tour of the Duke Gardens and Duke Chapel might be nice.
Local southern food options: Magnolia Grill (Durham) & Crook's Corner (Chapel Hill) are both great!
Was just thinking, in case you were rained out for Duke Gardens, the Nasher Museum would be a good alternative.
Another poster mentioned BBQ, and close to Duke Chapel is Bullock's, which is quite good.
Another thing some out of towners have enjoyed is a nice dinner at one of the old tobacco warehouses. Options there could be Taverna Nikos, Tosca, or restaurants at the American Tobacco area.
