Not too big, not too small, and centrally located in the Southeast.

Greater Birmingham is an easy drive from major Southern cities, and has an easy-to-navigate airport offering direct flights from 20 US cities. We’re large enough to deliver big-city resources like hotels and venues, but still compact enough to make planning and transportation simple. And you’ll discover the true meaning of Southern hospitality when you meet our team, our volunteers, and our people.
