The Wachovia Business Center provides business assistance including packaging, shipping and delivery services; design, printing, copying and finishing services; and mail and overnight delivery services as well as access to fax machines and individual PC workstations. The Convention Center also houses a Cyber Café, offering hot and cold beverages and light fare as well as free wireless access throughout the café and Internet access at six free-standing kiosks.
