Ocean City, Maryland

Ocean City is a high-energy coastal destination that delivers the kind of setting where productivity and experience complement each other. With 10 miles of white sand beach, a legendary Boardwalk, and modern event venues, it’s a drive-to market accessible to the Mid-Atlantic region.

The Convention Center anchors Ocean City’s meetings infrastructure with flexible, modern space for conferences, trade shows, and galas, steps from the ocean. Ashore Resort and Beach Club brings oceanfront design, flexible event space, and direct beach access together in a property that moves seamlessly from productive sessions to memorable networking. Marlin Moon at DoubleTree Oceanfront pairs locally inspired cuisine with sweeping Atlantic views and an interactive oyster shucking experience that turns a working lunch into something guests remember. At 1945, a four-course sommelier-led wine pairing unfolds across rooftop sunset views and interactive storytelling, closing any program on a high note. Dolle’s on the Boardwalk offers a back-of-house tour of taffy pulling and chocolate making, an only-in-Ocean-City moment since 1910. And just minutes away, Assateague Island National Seashore, wild ponies, open coastline, and undisturbed sky, offers an afternoon that reframes the whole trip.
