It’s that time of year again — spring training! First, you will need to find the perfect Iowa conference or convention center to host your team. This year, we’ve got some real heavy hitters that are sure to make your conference or convention hall of fame.
There’s a definite advantage to locating a venue in the central Iowa area. You’re close to all the major players in town (Wells Fargo, Nationwide Insurance, John Deere and more) and you’ve got a championship line up of attractions (Amana Colonies, Des Moines Botanical Center, Blank Park Zoo, etc.) that are the envy of every other location. Just minutes from the North Grand Mall, Ames Municipal Airport, and Iowa State University, the Waterloo Convention Center at Sullivans Brothers Plaza features 40,000 square feet of meeting space and is currently undergoing a multi-million dollar renovation and expansion to expand the capabilities for your event and enhance the event experience. The convention center also hits it out of the park with Spectra’s award-winning culinary experts craft delicious food and beverage designed to surprise and delight guests.
Take your team on the road to the eastern part of the state. There you’ll find meandering streams, limestone bluffs, patchwork country sides, quaint villages and accommodations that’ll make everyone feel like they’ve slid safely into home. For a grand slam, consider that Coralville Marriott Hotel & Conference Center, located just two miles from the University of Iowa, it’s one of the finest hotels in Iowa City with the area’s largest meeting space (capacity 4050), plus 280 guest rooms, 6 luxury suites, and fine dining on site. Another great choice that combines comfort and luxury to keep your attendees cheering is the Best Western PLUS Dubuque Hotel & Conference Center where up to 450 of your team can meet in the ballroom with executive suites, private conference rooms, on-site catering and 150 well-appointed guest rooms and suites.
No matter the season, you’ll hit a homer when you take the team west. Bases are loaded in this part of the country with scenic byways including Iowa’s Glacial Trail, Heritage Byway, Loess Hills National Scenic Byway and more. The first batter up in this neck of the woods is none other than the legendary Arrowwood Resort & Conference Center Okoboji. Your team will want to go extra innings when they experience Arrowwood’s gorgeous views, grand meeting spaces, golf course, and comfortable accommodations. When you swing for the fences, you’ll surely land at the Sioux City Convention Center. The multi-purpose complex consists of 54,000 square feet of combined indoor/outdoor meeting and event space, including a spectacular atrium meeting space.
Pitch any one of these major league conference centers and event centers to your team, and your Iowa event is sure to be a hit!
