The Winthrop Rockefeller Institute invites organizations from all sectors to hold their most important retreats and meetings on our historic campus atop Petit Jean Mountain.
Inspired by the summits and convenings Winthrop Rockefeller hosted here in the 1950s and 60s, the Institute ensures the highest levels of warmth and hospitality. With a wide variety of conference venues — such as presentation spaces, breakout rooms, board rooms, classrooms, and even a theater — you’re guaranteed to find the perfect fit for your group.
We also keep our pricing simple and transparent.
The Institute’s conference services fee is designed to be inclusive and straightforward, providing a comprehensive solution for organizations hosting events without the stress of unexpected costs. Unlike other venues that charge separately for services such as meeting room setup, audio/visual equipment, or technical support, the Institute’s conference services fee covers all essential elements, ensuring a seamless experience. This all-inclusive approach eliminates surprise charges and allows clients to focus on the success of their event rather than managing multiple budget items.
The fee includes up to two meeting spaces and essential services like meeting room setup, audio/visual equipment with virtual meeting technology, IT support, and concierge planning services. These bundled offerings are particularly beneficial for organizations that need flexibility in their event planning.
The Institute’s commitment to providing everything in one fee makes the planning process smooth and efficient.
Additionally, having a single, all-inclusive fee ensures that groups of all sizes can enjoy a top-tier experience without worrying about adding extra services.
This creates an inclusive environment where every event, regardless of budget, benefits from high-quality offerings. The result is a streamlined, cost-effective, and worry-free event planning experience, setting the Institute apart from venues that require ongoing cost negotiations and extra fees for essential services.
