To bolster its commitment to bring more conventions, conferences and meetings to New Castle County, the GWCVB launched the Meet Me at Home (visitwilmingtonde.com/meet) campaign in 2017. 

Residents and employees in New Castle County who have an existing relationship with a business or professional association, traveling youth sports league, or are planning a wedding or family reunion are encouraged to be proactive about bringing their events to New Castle County, their hometown. The GWCVB can assist and provide a variety of free services designed to aid in the selection making process.

Currently, the GWCVB is working with 11 conferences that have selected New Castle County as their location in 2018. These events have an estimated economic impact of over $1,100,000 for the county. In addition to these conferences, many area hotels, convention, and conference centers are booking business into the area. 

New Castle County is seeing   growth in meeting  business.  Beyond 2018 the future continues to look bright, the GWCVB is currently working on 26 active leads for conferences and events through the year 2020 that will continue to have a positive economic impact on New Castle County.
