Meeting planners pondering Wilmington, Del. as an event locale now have three new possibilities to consider, as well as a special offer from the local CVB.

It’s an extension of Philadelphia-based performance venue, World Cafe Live. In addition to its main auditorium which accommodates 400, the Queen Theatre houses a 160-seat restaurant and two separate meeting spaces, each of which provides flexible seating for 120 attendees. The Queen Theatre is becoming a prime choice for corporate meetings, with state-of-the-art sound and audio-visual systems that allow clients to incorporate numerous technical amenities into their events.
