Mid-America Center

Meetings, Music, Sports

Since its opening in 2002, the Mid-America Center (MAC) in Council Bluffs, Iowa, has become the Midwest’s premier convention and events center. The MAC features nearly 64,000 square feet of spacious exhibition and meeting space together with local shopping, outstanding restaurants, exciting casino gaming and over 4,000 hotel rooms within three miles. The sleek, contemporary design, with its inspiring architecture, glass façades, expansive views and spacious interiors, has made the MAC an iconic landmark along the upper Mississippi River valley. But perhaps the most distinctive feature of the Mid-America Center is how easy it is to plan and host a memorable event here. The MAC team of meeting experts works with you every step of the way to make sure your meeting or event is exactly what you’d hoped it would be: an overwhelming success.
