Insider's Guide to Mobile's Meeting Sites



By Ashley Wright

Outlaw-Mobile Convention Center and Mobile Civic Center.

Mobile also offers an EasyWalk meetings package that includes seven hotels to accompany both the convention and civic centers, which altogether offers 1,312 sleeping rooms with numerous meeting space options at hotels and centers.
