Conference Center at Shippensburg University

Conference Center at Shippensburg University provides flexible meeting and event facilities for organisers planning professional, educational, corporate and social gatherings in South Central Pennsylvania. The campus offers a broad selection of spaces, ranging from intimate conference rooms for interviews, planning sessions and team meetings to larger rooms, auditoriums and multipurpose areas for conferences, receptions, presentations and celebrations.

The dedicated Conference Center includes 13 meeting spaces for groups from approximately 6 to 100 people, with adaptable layouts, built-in presentation technology, wireless internet and support for virtual meetings. Larger campus venues extend the choice of settings, including spaces suitable for trade shows, banquets, performances, ceremonies, athletic events and sizeable public gatherings. Depending on the chosen facility, organisers can plan events for several hundred guests or auditorium programmes for audiences of up to 1,200.

Event planners can arrange on-site catering through Campus Dining Services, with menus suited to meetings, plated dinners, buffets, receptions and cocktail-style functions. The venue also offers audiovisual equipment, web cameras, microphones, sound reinforcement, accessible facilities and complimentary parking. Nearby hotel accommodation is available through a partnership with the adjacent Courtyard by Marriott Shippensburg, which is useful for conferences, training programmes and multi-day events.

The university’s Conference and Event Services team works with organisers on space selection, room layouts, catering, technology and practical arrangements. The campus setting offers a professional alternative to a conventional conference hotel, while its range of facilities makes it suitable for seminars, corporate training, networking events, milestone celebrations, community gatherings and larger conferences.
