Multi-purpose Room
Meet at the ALPLM!
The conference facility at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum is an ideal venue for clients hosting conferences, corporate meetings, seminars, educational workshops, and other events.
The Multi-Purpose Room offers state-of-the-art audio-visual features including a built-in video wall, a podium with microphone, and four additional wireless microphones that may be any combination of hand-held and lapel microphones. The venue offers video-conferencing and teleconferencing capabilities and provides for numerous set-up possibilities.
Use the venue as one large room accommodating 100 attendees in a classroom or banquet set-up or use the wall divider system to create two individual rooms (North and South). Note that the South Room contains the built-in audio/visual equipment, though we can set up needed equipment in the North Room.
With a rental of the Multi-Purpose Room, the venue just outside it, the Reception Gallery, is included complimentary for your use if needed.
