The building features a 20,000 square foot main hall with LED lighting and skylights for natural lighting. Adjacent smaller rooms will facilitate the Board meeting, Membership meeting, hospitality suites, etc. The building is air conditioned. There will be plenty of nearby parking. Loading and unloading will be at ground level. The NIA Awards Banquet will be held at the Riverwoods Conference Center, 1.1 miles from the fairgrounds and between the Marriott Springhill Suites and Townplace Suites, our host hotels. There are several other hotels in similar proximity to the fairgrounds. There are RV accommodations at the fairgrounds with WiFi access. Uber, Lyft, taxi and free bus service are all available in the valley. Since Utah is the “Beehive” state, the “beehive” insulator will be the theme of the show. See Event Information
