Meeting Space for Ancillary Meetings
There are a limited number of meeting rooms at the convention center. Additionally, ATA has secured a number of small meeting rooms at local hotels which can also be rented.
These Meeting Room rental fees are listed below. However, the meeting organizer is responsible for payment of any charges incurred, including but not limited to, food & beverage; audio & visual equipment, labor; internet service, etc.
Meeting space is available on a first come first serve basis at: Minneapolis Convention Center, Hilton Minneapolis (Headquarter Hotel), Hyatt Regency, Millennium Hotel, Hotel Ivy and Holiday Inn Express Hotel.
Groups are welcome to book at other venues but please note room rental fees will be significantly higher.
After you have received your meeting room assignment, the Convention Service Manager will be able to discuss food and beverage and audio visual equipment requests. All coordination for your event should be done between the hotel Convention Service Manager and ATA Staff.
