Sales Meetings

"Thrall Distribution held its annual sales meeting at NIU-Rockford. The NIU staff was excellent to work with and accommodated all of our meeting needs. The location of the NIU center was ideal for over 100 meeting attendees from all over the Midwest. Our highest compliments to the entire NIU-Rockford staff."

Planning Retreats

"It has been my privilege to use NIU-Rockford while facilitating meetings for a variety of area businesses. Every staff person at this facility is customer driven and will do whatever is necessary to provide assistance. This is the only facility in the area that was designed to serve meeting facilitators. The rooms are designed for almost any size group and the necessary equipment is always available. I have recommended the center to a number of organizations and will continue to do so."

"My recent use of the NIU-Rockford computer lab was a pleasurable experience.The lab and equipment are up-to-date and well suited for the presentations and hand-on software training I was offering. The system administrator was very helpful with my needs and had all of the software properly installed and ready to run on the day of my event. The NIU-Rockford staff and facility are an outstanding resource to have in Rockford!"

"I've done this session in three other locations and this (NIU-Rockford) was the best, by far. The computers were fast and the staff was readily available and helpful."

"We used NIU-Rockford's computer technology during a recent staff retreat. The high-speed Internet connection was very efficient and made our meeting run much more smoothly. It's great to have access to a conference center with that kind of technology."
