Plus 1 Schedule of Events
Welcome to the Plus 1 Experience at the PEARL 2025 Conference & Exhibition!
Calling all Plus 1s. Please join us for a special series of curated outings and experiences. The Plus 1 event is designed to provide a relaxing, engaging, and memorable opportunity to explore the charm of Charlotte, connect with others, and enjoy some well-deserved pampering.
The Plus 1 events this year will include a (two hour) personalized tour of the historic homes and history of Charlotte, a private tour of a local glass blowing shop, a shopping outing, as well as a spa visit for a massage. A bus will provide transportation to all the events from the Sheraton Charlotte Hotel. Both days will also have a lunch stop. We are striving to provide a community experience for the plus ones that would like to attend.
Below is the schedule of events planned for your enjoyment. Register today to save your spot!
