BUSINESS( NOT) AS USUAL
At the heart of Sitka’ s event venues is Harrigan Centennial Hall. Picture your gathering in one of seven flexible meeting rooms, complete with retractable walls to suit your needs. Our favorite space, though? A 4,127-square-foot auditorium that offers sweeping views of Sitka Sound, where humpback whales might even breach between agenda items. Harrigan Centennial Hall is fully equipped with teleconferencing capabilities, multimedia projectors, and a commercial kitchen for catered events— ideal for conventions, trade shows, and exhibitions.
For those seeking a more exclusive retreat,
Sitka Travel offers unique venues, beachfront homes for rent, or a private island lodge for
hosting your event. Imagine an off-site strategy session at a lodge with catered meals, hot tubs, and a private chef. These spaces blend work and relaxation perfectly, creating an inspiring atmosphere for your team.
Prefer something more traditional? Sitka’ s hotels offer fully-equipped conference rooms, allowing your attendees to move effortlessly from their accommodations to the meeting space. With audiovisual technology, in-house restaurants, and even package deals, these hotels make it easy to stay on budget without sacrificing quality.
