Con of the North 2026

**Big News**

2025 will be our last year at the Crowne Plaza Minneapolis West in Plymouth MN. But all good things come to an end, however we are growing onwards and upwards! Since this will be our last year at the Crowne, please take a minute to say thank you to the hotel staff one last time and let them know that they have been amazing hosts since we moved in a decade ago.

Starting in 2026 we will be our new home at the
DoubleTree by Hilton in Bloomington MN!

We will have so much more room to expand into. At the Crowne we have all of the 36,000 square feet of event space, at the DoubleTree there is just over 80,000 square feet of event space to grow into! Please be patient with us as we have growing pains in our new location. I’m sure it will take us a couple years to sort out what and who goes where, but we will get there (we had the same issues when we moved into the Crowne, remember Registration in the hall where it was cramped and dark?)

Keep an eye on this page as we will be posting 2026 Hotel updates on here as well as statistics about the new hotel to get people excited - and we will give comparisons to the Crowne so you can get a feel for what we are working with for space.
