Meet in the Middle

By Meetings + Events Staff

Alexandria is the perfect Midwest meeting place. Located on Interstate 94, halfway between Minneapolis–St. Paul and Fargo, North Dakota, Alexandria is a hidden gem offering the amenities of larger cities with the friendliness, convenience, and beauty of a small lakeside community. With more than 300 lakes in the area, a historic downtown shopping district, and an abundance of sports, arts, and cultural opportunities to explore, there are many ways to enhance the meeting experience to provide attendees and their families with unforgettable experiences.

Make planning a breeze by choosing a venue where you can stay and play. The Holiday Inn Alexandria is conveniently located near the interstate and is a favorite for families and business conventions alike, providing ample meeting and banquet space, on-site dining at Willy T’s Tavern and Grill, and a recreation center featuring pools, an arcade, a fitness center, and more.

Arrowwood Resort & Conference Center is located on beautiful Lake Darling and offers stunning views and flexible accommodations for both business and personal travel. Choose from a variety of meeting and conference facilities to accommodate small breakout sessions, large banquets, and everything in between.

Explore the endless potential for on-site activities. Host a golf tournament at Arrowwood’s 18-hole championship golf course, take the kids down the lazy river at Big Splash Indoor Waterpark, take advantage of the full-service marina and rent pontoons for evening excursions, or get creative by hosting a banquet and cornhole tournament on the front lawn. Relax at the end of the day in your choice of guest room, suite, townhome, or cottage.

Gather in Alexandria and see why so many families, business groups, and individual travelers find Alexandria easy to get to but hard to leave. With so many options to customize your experience, you will want to come back again and again to see and do it all!
