North Dakota might surprise you—and that’s the point. For many, Bismarck-Mandan is a first-time destination, and it delivers far more than just another box to check. Here, you’ll find one-of-a-kind attractions and off-site venues that take events and meetings beyond the fields, courses and four walls and into unforgettable experiences.

Plenty of cities have facilities. What sets us apart? The extra. From history, culture and arts to outdoor adventure, dining and shopping, Bismarck-Mandan has it all—right on the Missouri River and surrounded by rolling hills.

As North Dakota’s capital, we combine professional infrastructure with authentic hospitality and a central location that’s easy to reach by road or air. Add in access to key industry sites, walkable downtowns and built-in pre- and post-conference adventures and you’ve got a destination that works hard—and plays even harder.

Join Frederick Douglass for a conversation celebrating American democracy. In 1876, on the country’s centennial, Douglass joined Lucy Stone, Wendell Phillips, and Mary Livermore before a standing-room-only audience at Faneuil Hall in Boston. The protest speech he delivered that day challenged America to move toward a more inclusive and perfect union. In celebration of America 250, the semiquincentennial of our democracy, you are now the audience as Frederick Douglass reflects on his transformation from bondsman to statesman. Leave this performance with a deeper understanding of how the American Revolution, slavery, the Civil War, and Reconstruction shaped Douglass’s views.
