“I’m going back to dignity and grace. I’m going back to Charleston, where I belong,”\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We are so excited to open ticket<\/a><\/strong> sales today for the first of First2Board’s City Sessions. We hope you’ll join First2Board in Charleston this September. \u00a0We have a great itinerary planned with lots of group events and plenty of time to explore the city.<\/p>\n

Charleston is a spectacular destination and has been recognized by magazines like Cond\u00e9 Nast and Bon App\u00e9tit as representing the best of the best when it comes to hospitality. Charleston was voted for the second consecutive year, \u201cTop City in the United States\u201d in the Cond\u00e9 Nast Traveler Reader\u2019s Choice Awards. Several Charleston Chefs have been received awards from Bon Appetit and many more have been recognized with James Beard awards including 2009 winner Mike Lata of Fig, 2008 winner Robert Stehling of Hominy Grill<\/p>\n

The airlines that fly into Charleston are U.S. Airways, Delta, United, Jet Blue, American, and Southwest. You’ll be sharing a runway with Boeing and the United States Air force, so keep your eye’s open if you like plane spotting. \u00a0Odds are good that you’ll see a Deamliner. \u00a0I would recommend departing on Sunday after 4pm so you can enjoy our final event with The Mr Pickles and Frugal Travel Guy (not to mention the killer food at Eli’s.)<\/p>\n

You can buy packages and A la Carte options on our events website<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We’ve arranged a special rate at the Aloft Charleston of $95 (taxes included) for double or single occupancy including wifi and breakfast for 2 people. The hotel also has a free airport shuttle. (you can only book this rate with us<\/strong>)<\/a> The best available rate is $123 (including taxes). \u00a0In addition you will earn all your Starpoints with our group rate!<\/p>\n
