There are two conference centers at Louisiana’s Wildwood Resort, so no matter what the size of your convention/trade show/retreat/conference, this venue can accommodate you easily and well.

There are superb facilities here – anything and everything your speakers, organizers, and attendees could possibly need, from food and furniture to wifi and electronics.

This venue is also a hotel, so your attendees can stay on-site.  I think this is always the best way.

At the resort’s W.J. Brown Conference Center, your large conference will be housed in surroundings that look like a grand old country lodge.  Don’t be fooled, however; the amenities are as modern as can be found anywhere in the world.

If you are planning a smaller conference, the Junior Conference Center can accommodate smaller groups of up to 50 attendees: perfect for corporate events or retreats, special occasions, or just simply a smaller convention.

After the day’s meetings and seminars are over, your attendees can take advantage of the fantastic fishing, swimming, golf, or just simply relaxing and taking in the beautiful scenery.

Oh, and if you want your conference to be catered, this venue can offer your attendees a little bit of everything, from a fish fry to an elegant prime rib dinner.

And, at the end of the day, your attendees will find that their beds are fantastic in every possible way.

If you are looking for a convention/conference/retreat venue that is located near a myriad of local wonders for evenings and free time, look no further than the Parkway Plaza Hotel and Convention Center in Casper, Wyoming.  Whether your attendees are golfers, fishermen or outdoor adventurers, historians, sports fans, or just interested in local color, this venue is only a short distance from all of those, and more.

The Parkway can offer your convention a large conference center along with many meeting rooms.  The hotel’s catering service can take good care of a group of any size with cuisine so good, your attendees -and you – will remember it for a long time thereafter.

This venue has, in fact, 20 meeting rooms and over 25,000 square feet of flexible meeting and conference space that can accommodate up to 1,500 people.  You’ll have access to any audio-visual equipment you might need, as well as high speed internet and teleconferencing capabilities.

The Parkway Plaza Hotel & Convention Center also offers your attendees transportation to and from the airport or group outings.

It’s always best, in my opinion, when the conference venue also houses the hotel and dining room, and the Parkway Plaza Hotel & Convention Center does all of that, and much, much more.

Canaan Valley Resort and Conference Center, in the heart of West Virginia’s beautiful Canaan Valley Resort State Park, looks a lot like a chalet you might encounter while skiing in the Swiss Alps, doesn’t it!    Well, while it might not be in the Alps, it’s in the Allegheny Mountains, and many people believe the Alleghenies are as beautiful as any mountain you’d find in Europe or anywhere else!

Heidi would be right at home here.  The skiing is magnificent, and the views even more so!

Canaan Valley Resort and Conference Center can handle a large gathering – up to 900 attendees can be comfortably accommodated here.  No matter what kind of rooms – large or small – that you need for your convention/conference/retreat/trade show, etc, this venue can handle it.  With an assortment of floor plans, from theater-style to classroom to small group, etc, Canaan Valley’s got your number.

I am of the belief that the best conference venue is one that is also a hotel, so your attendees will have the luxury and convenience of having it all in one place.  Canaan Valley Resort and Conference Center has 250 guest rooms or suites, enough to give all of your attendees a good night’s rest.  Breakfast?  Lunch?  Dinner?   This venue can accommodate your attendees’ stomachs, too!

Your guests won’t have to leave Fido or Fluffy at home alone, either.  Small pets are welcome at Canaan Valley Resort and Conference Center.

There are also 23 private cabins and cottages at Canaan Valley Resort and Conference Center!

Oh, and I mustn’t forget to mention the free high-speed internet access. . . .

Canaan Valley is the highest mountain valley east of the Rocky Mountains, with a base elevation of 3,100 feet, but it’s situated on a plateau, which makes it ideal for skiing and golf.

The Ralph A. MacMullan Conference Center, at 104 Conservation Drive, Roscommon, MI 48653, is a lovely change from the usual traffic-heavy downtown convention center!  Contact Mark Buchinger at 989-821-6200 for a visit or tour, brochures, and any other information.

Set on the northern shores of Higgins Lake, the Ralph A. MacMullan Conference Center continues its mission to provide a quiet, relaxing atmosphere the natural way for a variety of organizations. Originally built by the Civilian Conservation Corps, the RAM Center is a tranquil setting that allows groups to get away from the hustle and bustle of more urban counterparts to focus on the group’s specific needs. Whether those needs be educational, team building, training, retreat or other purposes, you’ll find the ideal environment for your organization.

The RAM Center serves:

The conference center offers modern facilities with an up-north atmosphere. The meeting rooms can accommodate groups as small as 10 and as large as 135. Six lodges house overnight guests in comfortable twin-bed rooms. Warm pine walls, cedar furniture, vaulted cathedral ceilings and massive stone fireplaces are a few of our amenities. Meeting rooms are equipped with multi-media projectors, VCRs, large screens, slide and overhead projectors.

The RAM Center’s meals are legendary, with ample portions and food cooked to perfection. The menu features a variety of savory dinners, fresh baked breads and rolls, hearty breakfasts, and delectable lunches. Vegetarian and special dietary needs are well accommodated. During the warmer months, cookouts on the shores of pristine Higgins Lake are popular alternatives to the dining room. The atmosphere is relaxed and casual clothing is encouraged.

Michigan’s abundant natural resources are close at hand and available for everyone to enjoy and appreciate at the RAM Center.  Whether it’s canoeing, hiking, cross-country skiing, swimming or fishing, they’re all available to enjoy when the work is over for the day. Golfing, museums and movie theaters are nearby.
