Specializing in hosting small and mid-sized groups, the William L. Yates Conference Center at the South Carolina Hospital Association can accommodate gatherings of up to 230 persons. Choose a classic boardroom setting, comfortable classrooms, or a ballroom venue for conferences, planning sessions, workshops, receptions and parties. Our business clients rely on our state -of- the- art meeting technology and our technical staff members who are there to ensure that everything is working properly. A communications center and wireless Internet connections are also available to all conference center visitors. We're also a great choice for family gatherings and social events, and we enjoy helping to make weddings, reunions, and anniversaries memorable and fun for all. Because the property is green and beautifully landscaped and includes hardwoods and pine trees and a private lake, it's hard to believe that the Conference Center is right off Interstates 20 and 26. This location provides easy access for in-town and out-of-town guests and an extensive parking area near the building. The Conference Center is also located within 10 minutes of the Columbia Metropolitan Airport.
