All you wonderful Conference planners take a look! I have found a great venue for your next 2011 or 2012 Conferences.
I was recently invited to stay at the Cedarbrook Lodge, where I found a prior owned, Washington Mutual (bank) training center, turned into a blissful Lodge retreat! Just around the corner from Seattle/Tacoma International airport and the Link Lite Rail to Seattle, this massive conference center has it all.
With 104 guest rooms and 18,000sf of conference space - that is just the beginning. My room was comfortable, spacious and up to date with all the free Wi-Fi and Starbucks coffee a writer needs to stay up at night. There are two buildings for the guests, each with it's own "Living room" space - a great area for conference attendees to converse in the evening while enjoying some of the nice 24-hour snacks Cedarbrook provides, including oranges, whoppers of different flavors, yogurt, string cheese and Haagen-Dazs ice cream!
The outdoor space will provide a quiet and relaxing atmosphere for the sometimes chaotic sessions at a conference. Walking trails surround the property on it's 18 acre site and a complimentary shuttle will take you directly to the Lite Rail train for a day trip to anywhere in Seattle.
Your attendees can also forget the worries of a rental car by taking the complimentary shuttle to and from the airport to Cedarbrook.
Cedarbrooks Conference rooms vary in size and capacity, holding from 8-300 guests. These conference rooms also boast some High-tech gadgetry for providing great presentations on the multiple drop screens and generating Dolby Digital surround sound.
The Lodge also provides in-house catering as well as it's Gourmet Copperleaf restaurant. Serving the best Farm to Table food I've ever eaten! It was worthy enough of it's own article I wrote last week.
Breakfast is complimentary, serving some basic, healthy and delicious food. Oatmeal, cereals, and pastries from the local bakery are just to name a few.
From a large fitness center to the Copperleaf bar and more, this Lodge has everything you'll need for your conference. After my weekend stay I'd say that I'd love to be staying at Cedarbrook for an upcoming blogger conference! Amazing venue!
