CPMI Event Center

CPMI Event Center is a flexible event venue in Ames, Iowa, offering a practical setting for business gatherings, private celebrations and community occasions. The 9,600 square foot facility can host up to 350 guests for banquet-style events, making it suitable for receptions, anniversaries, fundraisers, class reunions, rehearsal dinners and large private functions.

The venue also supports a broad range of professional events, including business meetings, product launches, seminars, training sessions and club activities. Organisers can make use of the main event space for larger gatherings, while a separate boardroom is available by special appointment for smaller meetings of up to 40 people. Free parking, internet access and telephone access are available to help keep event arrangements straightforward for organisers and guests.

CPMI Event Center provides tables, chairs and access to a limited kitchen area. The venue does not provide event set-up, take-down or full catering, giving organisers the flexibility to appoint their own suppliers. External caterers and licensed bartenders may be brought in with prior approval, which can suit organisations that already have preferred partners or want to create a tailored food and drink plan.

Located in the Iowa State Research Park, the centre offers a convenient Ames location for local organisations, companies, associations and families. Its adaptable layout and straightforward rental approach make it a useful choice for events requiring a sizeable indoor space without the restrictions of a fixed package. Availability is managed through the venue’s rental coordinator, with bookings secured by a reservation deposit.
