I highly recommend the John S. Knight Center in Akron, Ohio as an excellent venue to hold a small to medium sized conference. I recently attended a business to business at this venue. This venue is located in the heart of downtown Akron, Ohio, close to the University of Akron. The venue offers excellent parking facilities right next door to the center and offers cheap parking rates. The venue is also close to restaurants and other businesses downtown. The venue provides concessions and catering, offering quality food at a fair price. In addition, they offer beverage services, including alcoholic drinks. The staff is very professional and are easy to work with. They are flexible and open to accommodating all different types of conferences and events. The venue offers many different sizes of meeting rooms, presentation rooms as well as exhibit halls. State of the art presentation equipment is available for speeches and presentations. The venue is clean, and well maintained and has a very modern architectural style. The venue is large enough for gatherings of several thousand people, but can be made more intimate for smaller conferences and events with just a few hundred people. I would highly recommend this venue for small to medium sized conferences due to three key factors: price, location, and quality of the facilities.
