Once you have registered for a specific week for an on-site program, it is good to schedule your travel and lodging arrangements as soon as possible. We will be happy to assist you with your questions.
As part of the Charlotte metro region, Davidson is closely accessible from Interstate highways I-77, I-85, and I-485. The Charlotte-Douglas International Airport, serving all major airlines, is a 25-30 minute drive to Davidson. Clients have found the rates to Charlotte very affordable from throughout the nation.
As the program begins early Monday morning, clients have found it helpful to arrive Sunday evening. For convenience, it is best to research and book your flight as well as rental car at least two weeks prior to your arrival. It may be preferable to have your own transportation to explore the Charlotte-Metro offerings, cultural or sporting events, and evening shopping or dining. The Centre is located conveniently off of I-77, exit 30, on Lake Davidson. Downtown Davidson is a one mile drive from the office space, however there are several restaurants within a close walk.
