Ever have to plan a training session or conference while staying within a budget? Consider holding it at a nearby university campus. They're often less expensive than hotels and conference centers. A college setting projects a serious learning, rather than a resort, environment.

Many campuses offer food and beverage service, outstanding audiovisual support, and recreation facilities. Sleeping accommodations are somethimes available on campus. But, even if they aren't, campuses typically have hotel accommodations nearby. Prices for college meeting facilities are attractive, especially during summer and breaks.
