Affordable, Convenient Meeting Space in the Triangle, NC
The Estes Conference Center offered state-of-the-art, flexible spaces that were of tremendous use to my nonprofit. The conference center was in a prime location, making it easy to travel to and from, and making catering and deliveries simple. The ECC staff was responsive, helpful, and professional. I would highly recommend the space to others, and look forward to using it in the future. – Angela Mason, Pauli Murray Center
