University of Nebraska

Most conference facilities work towards getting you to book your event with them. The University of Nebraska in Lincoln looks at this from a markedly different perspective: Their goal is to have every attendee thinking about when they’ll next be able to come back. In that perspective lies all the difference, and perhaps a bit of an explanation, because that is the difference between the ordinary and the excellence that you and your guests will experience at the University of Nebraska.

The location in eastern Nebraska makes this venue convenient to residents of Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, Illinois, Missouri, South Dakota, Wisconsin and Minnesota, Wyoming and Colorado, which are all within a day’s drive. In fact, every summer the U of N hosts some 12,000 people from all over the world. To be sure, many of them simply fly in to Lincoln or Omaha.

The capacity of the university is impressive. 13,595 people can be accommodated during the day, while 5000 overnight guests can find lodgings on campus between May and August. The auditorium holds 7500, and the others can find seats in the 200 other meeting and event rooms, including a single classroom environment that seats 850 people at once!

Technology is key to any conference these days. The university has the ability to provide video teleconferencing, satellite links, computer labs, AV presentation equipment, and capable in-house staff to set it all up and see to it that it’s operating smoothly.

The UNL’s catering is quite capable, provides outstanding quality and service as standard fare. If you or your attendees have special desires or requirements, the catering staff is happy to accommodate those requests. Customized rate packages can be provided for the catering aspect, and for the entire conference as well.

In all things, the UNL exists to serve. Give them a call. Find out how good it is to book your event with a conference center which has the experience and perspective to earn your business -- for both this event and your next as well!
