Meeting Facilities:

The Anchorage Civic and Convention District is located in the heart of downtown Anchorage, within easy walking distance of 3,000+ modern hotel rooms, diverse cuisine, an 11-block park, world-class history and art museum, wilderness adventures and the best shopping in the city. In September 2008, with the opening of the 200,000-square-foot Dena'ina Civic & Convention Center, Anchorage increased its civic and convention capacity by 300 percent. Combined with existing facilities at the William H. Egan Center, Anchorage now has the space to host multiple mid-sized meetings simultaneously, with a capacity for groups of up to 5,000. The Dena’ina Center features architectural designs that take advantage of unique northern latitudinal light, spectacular views of the Chugach Mountains, as well as the functionality and state-of-the-art technology expected from a premier meeting facility. Artwork displayed throughout the Dena’ina Center uniquely depicts how the building is tied to the land and its people, reminding visitors that although Anchorage is a thriving metropolis, it is also a place of history and culture that dates back thousands of years.

Anchorage, Alaska, is a place of wild abundance.  The people, the land, the surroundings create a larger-than-life existence.  The days are longer, nights brighter, and day-to-day life is lived on a grand scale.  Anchorage is simply spectacular.

Anchorage has access to some of the freshest seafood in the world, which local chefs offer up in a variety of mouth-watering Alaska-style creations.

There are more than 40 different restaurants within and within walking distance of the Convention District.

One of the great things about Anchorage is its location, central to Alaska’s best natural adventures. Kayak on pristine or rushing waters and fish in the heart of the city.  Flightsee over vast, snow-covered mountains or dog sled on a glacier.  Hike, bike, ski or snowboard in wild scenic places that quite literally take your breath away.  Anchorage activities thrill adventure seekers of all interests and abilities.
