Grand Island, Nebraska, offers a full-service convention and visitors bureau with years of planning experience, knowledgable and friendly volunteers, and national-caliber venues.

The Fonner Park Campus includes 375,000 modern, multipurpose square feet. Four hotel convention properties range from 3,000 to 14,000 square feet. More intimate venues include architect Edward Durell Stone’s Stuhr Building, the 1930s Grand Theatre with its original interior, and a small Burlington Northern depot.  

New, new, new!

Mainstay Suites opened in 2015 and Candlewood Suites debuted in 2016. The Chocolate Bar is added a meeting space that will seat up to 200 people, and the new, high-tech Raising Nebraska agricultural exhibit is a one-of-a-kind place to hold your event.

We’ll do whatever it takes within our power for your convention, show, or conference to be successful, from laying groundwork to nit-picking details. Relax; meetings are made easy with your Grand Island hospitality team.
