Event Assistance Fund
If you're walking a tightrope with your event budget, we can help you off the highwire. Minneapolis Northwest offers an Event Assistance Fund designed to help offset the cost of your event.

- Breakout Sessions
- Team-building Activities
To have your meeting, event or tournament considered, please submit your RFP online or email it to Jen Durdahl-Johnson.
