Is your group considering conference centers in the Minneapolis and St. Paul area? This next venue is Stunning! There's no other word to describe this magnificent campus of the University of Minnesota and its conference facilities, when one first comes upon it, looking across the Mississippi River and up the layered stone bluffs to this unique campus. The unusual brick and stainless steel building you spy is the Weisman Art Museum. Within it are what has been heralded as "five of the most gorgeous galleries on earth." While the entire campus is not made of such stainless structures, it continues to be impressive.

With the Twin Cities' international airport just 20 minutes away, getting to the University of Minnesota conference center is easy. Public transportation within Minneapolis and St. Paul is exemplary. Of course, those who choose to do so can take a bus or train, or drive their own vehicle as well.
