MeadowView Convention Center Address, Map & Directions

Use this navigation address: 1901 Meadowview Parkway, Kingsport, Tennessee 37660.

Arriving by car

  1. Navigate to Meadowview Parkway. Use the complete street address rather than searching for a generic Kingsport convention center.
  2. Approach the resort entrance. The property is near the Interstate 26 corridor. Follow current navigation and roadway signs.
  3. Follow on-site parking signs. Select self-parking unless your visit requires another arrangement.
  4. Find the correct event room. Follow your organizer’s instructions to the registration location, ballroom or convention hall.

Arriving from Tri-Cities Regional Airport

Tri-Cities Regional Airport (TRI) is approximately 12 miles from the property, making it the most practical nearby airport for many visitors.

Airport transfer options

  • Hotel airport shuttle: Marriott publishes a requested shuttle service costing $30 one-way or $60 round trip.
  • Reservation: Call 423-578-6600 to arrange and verify the transfer before arrival.
  • Rental car: Useful for visitors attending several regional events or visiting attractions outside Kingsport.
  • Taxi or rideshare: Check pickup availability, fare and operating hours for your flight.

Airport shuttle prices are published hotel rates and may change. Do not assume the shuttle is complimentary or automatically dispatched for every flight.

Local transportation

Kingsport Area Transit Service (KATS) operates local public transportation. However, a direct route to the resort should not be assumed. Confirm applicable stops, operating days and service schedules before relying on transit.

MeadowView Convention Center Parking: Free Lots, Valet & EV Charging

One of MeadowView’s biggest conveniences is complimentary self-parking. Marriott advertises approximately 900 parking spaces, providing capacity for hotel guests and many conference attendees.

No standard self-parking fee

Self-parking

Parking tips for conference attendees

  • Arrive before your first scheduled session, especially for a large expo.
  • Check your organizer’s event instructions for designated parking or access requirements.
  • Allow time to walk from your vehicle to the assigned convention room.
  • Remember your parking area if several hotel and conference groups are present.
  • Ask the venue about bus parking, freight access or accessible drop-off when applicable.
Do not confuse parking with event admission. Complimentary parking does not mean every show is free. A conference, trade show, concert, competition or private event may require paid tickets or advance registration.
