The state-of-the-art audio-visual capabilities at the McNamara Alumni Center consistently impress our clients and guests:

• Most of our meeting rooms have built-in podiums, microphones, projectors and screens included in the room rental.

• Wireless Internet access is available at no charge throughout the conference center. An Internet kiosk is available for guests near the reception desk.

• The built-in projector and screen in Memorial Hall is like none other in the Twin Cities; The new 18,000 lumen projector accommodates wide screen formats. Its output is brilliant even when the room is sun-filled. With a push of a button, a 8X18' screen emerges out from the wall, visible to all. AV operation is conveniently available from both the podium and the back of the room at a custom-made console.
