1. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. Roseville’s location between Minneapolis and St. Paul makes it an ideal home base for meetings, conferences, sports groups, reunions and special events. Attendees can easily reach downtown attractions, universities, sporting venues, theaters and entertainment while enjoying the convenience of staying and meeting just outside the urban core. With convenient access to major highways, Roseville makes getting around the Twin Cities easy — whether attendees are arriving for a conference or heading out to explore after the meeting.
2. HOTELS THAT MAKE MEETINGS EASY. Roseville currently offers 12 hotels, giving planners a variety of accommodations and price points for groups. From full-service meeting hotels to convenient limited-service properties, Roseville provides options for conferences, corporate meetings, sports groups and overnight events. Many properties offer meeting space, complimentary parking and easy freeway access — valuable amenities that can help simplify logistics and stretch a meeting budget. And when you need help finding the right fit, the Roseville Visitors Association can research hotel availability and rates for groups of 10 or more and help secure room blocks.
3. MEETING SPACES WITH OPTIONS. Roseville offers meeting and event venues ranging from traditional hotel conference rooms to distinctive spaces that give an event a little more personality. The Roseville Skating Center is one of the community's signature venues, featuring banquet and meeting rooms overlooking the Guidant John Rose Minnesota OVAL. Its largest configuration accommodates groups of up to 275 for banquet events, with multiple room options for smaller gatherings. Roseville also offers community and park facilities, while nearby destinations such as the Minnesota State Fairgrounds, University of Northwestern–St. Paul, Bethel University and Como Park Zoo & Conservatory expand the possibilities for unique meetings, receptions and group experiences.
4. COMPLIMENTARY PLANNING ASSISTANCE. Why do all the research yourself when Roseville can help? The Roseville Visitors Association works directly with meeting planners and provides a variety of complimentary services designed to make planning easier. Services include researching corporate hotel rates, securing room blocks, arranging site inspections, providing resource guides, supplying attraction and theater information, preparing bid proposals and presentations, assisting with registration and providing welcome packets for attendees. Whether you're looking for hotel accommodations, meeting space, group activities or ideas for extending the attendee experience beyond the meeting room, Roseville's visitor professionals are ready to help.
5. SHOPPING, DINING & MORE AFTER THE MEETING. Roseville gives attendees plenty to do when the day's agenda is finished. At the heart of the city's shopping and dining scene is Rosedale Center, a 1.14-million-square-foot shopping destination featuring more than 150 retailers and restaurants. Its recently completed $100 million renovation and expansion brought updated finishes, lighting, seating, amenities, new retailers and a new parking deck. Dining options include Baldamar, Crave, Shake Shack, Panera Bread and Potluck Food Hall, making it easy for attendees to grab a quick bite, gather for dinner or enjoy some time away from the meeting room. Beyond shopping and dining, Roseville offers nearly 100 dining options throughout the community, plus parks, trails, recreation and year-round activities — giving planners plenty of choices for team-building, networking and post-meeting fun.
