Are you thinking about hosting a meeting, retreat, or conference in Green Bay? We have plenty of meeting spaces and conference centers that will MORE than meet your needs. But if you are looking for something a little unexpected (but still flexible and welcoming), you might want to consider hosting at one of our three local college campuses!
The University of Wisconsin - Green Bay, St. Norbert College, and Northeast Wisconsin Technical College are three incredible campuses with gorgeous rental spaces, perfect for your next event. They have some of the most cutting-edge technology available and often have a better price point than a traditional hotel or convention center.
Let’s take a closer look at each of these options so you can make the best choice for your next event:
University of Wisconsin – Green Bay
The UWGB campus is tucked away along the bay of Green Bay on the north-eastern side of town. However, it’s still just a short 10-minute drive from downtown and 15 minutes from the Austin Straubel Airport. This campus is perfect if you want your attendees to experience peaceful natural surroundings. The campus sits on 700 wooded acres with lots of space to explore and let your mind wander. However, the amenities inside are state-of-the-art and comparable to those you would find at a full-service conference center.
Here are just some of the perks of hosting your event at UWGB:
-
A variety of classrooms, lecture halls, and even performance spaces.
-
They can offer registration and marketing support for your event.
-
On-campus lodging is available in the summer months.
-
They have on-site catering and staff who know how to run a seamless event.

St. Norbert College
On the west side of the Fox River in De Pere, you will find the historic St. Norbert College campus. The F. K. Bemis International Conference Center is the largest event space on campus, making it an ideal choice for conferences and large events. But, there are several other venues such as the Fort Howard Theater, Michels Commons Ballroom, Olejniczak Board Room, and additional multipurpose meeting spaces that can accommodate groups from 2 to 100.
Here are some reasons to consider St. Norbert College for your event:
-
Elegant spaces like the Bemis International Center and Walter Theatre.
-
On-site lodging is available at the cozy Kress Inn or in summer residence halls.
-
Full-service catering, A/V support, and friendly staff.
-
The campus offers a quiet, academic vibe with small-town charm.
