Specialties
NIU's Rockford location serves the business and association communities by providing meeting space, conference solutions, professional development opportunities, and NIU degree-oriented classes. Because our facility was built with adult learners in mind, we boast some of the most comfortable and high-tech classrooms and meeting facilities in the area. Meeting rooms come equipped with ergonomic furniture, windows, individual climate controls, video projectors, document cameras, computers, and WiFi. We also offer on-site catering and a variety of meeting enhancements. It is NIU Conference Centers' policy to not charge for standard AV, tech support, gratuities or service charges, so there will not be any surprises after your event.
