From lively city centers to scenic panoramic landscapes, Minnesota conference and convention centers offer just about everything you can imagine for your event. Whether you’re planning a convention, conference, or corporate event these Minnesota event venues are sure to make an impression!
If your event would be enhanced by stunning views, lovely waterways, endless nearby activities, and exhibit space that’s as functional as it is expansive, then look no further than the St. Cloud River’s Edge Convention Center in St. Cloud, MN. Perched on the banks of the scenic Mississippi River, this convention center offers 180,000 square feet of space, 19 meeting rooms, 60,000 square feet of continuous exhibit space, and a 16,000 square foot ballroom. You’d be hard-pressed to run out of room here!
But if running is what you have in mind, or for that matter, swimming, hiking, biking, golfing, relaxing in a spa, or team building in exhilarating surroundings, then your event should take place at one of central Minnesota’s gorgeous resorts and conference centers. Featuring comfortable onsite accommodations, savory cuisine, breathtaking views, and meeting spaces that inspire, your attendee’s experience will be most memorable at the Arrowwood Resort & Conference Center; Breezy Point Resort & Conference Center; Grand View Lodge; or Ruttger's Bay Lake Lodge.
For as much as Minnesotans talk about “going up north,” it’s important to recognize we love the southern region of our state as well. What’s not to love? For example, the Four Seasons Civic Centre in Owatonna, Minnesota with its multi-building complex, 50,000 square feet of floor space, onsite catering facilities and free parking. Or, the Hutchinson Event Center in Hutchinson, Minnesota (of course) where you’ll discover 24,000 square feet of event space, state-of-the-art AV equipment, food/beverage service facilities all conveniently located just 60 miles west of the Twin Cities.
Then again, the land of Paul Bunyan in the northwest holds its own special appeal, too. Consider The Sanford Center in Bemidji, MN where the 10,000 square-foot Grand Ballroom accommodates groups from 10 to 1000, with 4,000 square-feet of available break out meeting space, and a 1,200-square-foot pre-function area. Plus, a full service marketing and advertising department, on-site parking and tech-ready meeting rooms with high-speed Internet access, making it a choice that’s as big and bold as the legendary lumberjack who hails from the region.
Of course, nothing beats bringing your bunch to a metropolitan area, where everything is close by - fine restaurants, wonderful hotels, theaters, museums, shopping and so much more. If your event needs to be in the heart of the action, consider the Schwan Event Center at National Sports Center in Blaine. Popular for conventions, trade shows, and other big events, this venue offers 36,000 square feet of event space, along with AV equipment, wireless Internet, on-site catering, and ample free parking, all while be conveniently located just minutes from downtown Minneapolis.
In fact, Minneapolis’ surrounding suburbs offer several other wonderful options as well, including the Crowne Plaza Minneapolis West in Plymouth, Minnesota and the Embassy Suites by Hilton Bloomington | Minneapolis in Bloomington, Minnesota.
Want to be closer to the city? Well, why not? The McNamara Alumni Center hums with the electric pulse of city energy, along with lodging, activities, eateries, shopping and entertainment within walking distance or a quick cab ride from downtown Minneapolis. Meanwhile, the Minnesota Humanities Center and the MSP Airport Conference Center are convenient to downtown St. Paul.
