Venue Setting

Artful, industrial, expansive. If you're hosting a large event (or hoping to make a big impression), consider International Market Square (IMS). IMS is an historic landmark and trend-setting design center located on the edge of downtown Minneapolis. Completed in 1915, this former factory is Minnesota's largest renovated building. At its heart is a soaring 5-story atrium with a glass roof that welcomes sunlight in every season. IMS is versatile and vast, with up to 50,000 sq ft of meeting and banquet spaces that can accommodate groups of all sizes. Home to more than 70 inspiring design showrooms, IMS has a unique creative vibe and is truly an aesthetic gem.
