Diversity and inclusivity set North Little Rock apart from other destinations, according to Everett Gaither, vice president of marketing and communication for North Little Rock Tourism. “What keeps meeting and event planners coming back is not only the accessibility of our destination but also the true hospitality of our community. You’re just minutes away from amazing outdoor adventures. Crystal Bluff at Big Rock Quarry attracts climbers from across the country, and the Arkansas River Trail passes beautiful views of the river, bridges, and many parks. In town, our Argenta Vibe Music Series offers free live music; the Argenta Dogtown Throwdown features local vendors, live music, and good drinks; and our 3rd Friday Artwalk is a great evening of art, music,
and community.”
Located in the heart of the Argenta Arts District, the newly opened North Little Rock Event Center is a 31,000-square-foot facility with a ballroom seating 1,000 people banquet style or 1,500 theater style. Nearby, the 220-room Wyndham Riverfront Little Rock is North Little Rock’s largest conference hotel, with 14,000 square feet of function space. It is adjacent to the 7,000-seat Dickey-Stephens Park baseball stadium. Additional hotels with meeting space include the 119-room Hilton Garden Inn North Little Rock, with 4,015 square feet of function space, and the 75-room Tru by Hilton North Little Rock, with 1,102 square feet of event space.
Also in the Argenta Arts District, the E.O. Manees House is a newly renovated historic mansion with indoor and outdoor event space for up to 300 guests. Additional garden and indoor function space at the mansion’s sister property, The Sanctuary at Argenta, can be combined with space at the historic mansion.
