Basic audio-visual is included with all rental fees at the National Constitution Center, and an in-house team of technicians is available to assist with meetings. On site parking, a rarity for a downtown venue, is a bonus for attendees.
“Unlike a hotel or conference center, we can offer groups access to our acclaimed exhibits while they’re on site, adding an extra dimension of interest to any event,” said Kellie Brielmaier, director of facility rentals and special events for the National Constitution Center. “Because the center was built just nine years ago, our facilities were designed to be conducive to special events.”
Clearly being steeped in history doesn’t mean being stuck in the past. Noted Jo Ellyn McNees of the Annapolis and Anne Arundel County Conference and Visitors Bureau, “Even as the allure of history sur- rounds our guests, our properties offer the most up-to-date amenities.”
Attendees will “dig” a rare chance to watch archaeologists at work in London Town. Featuring the largest ongoing dig in Maryland, attendees can also tour its eight- acre woodland garden. London Town is home to a newly opened $650,000 exhibit, Discover London Town, where visitors navi- gate 5,000-square feet of exhibits spanning 13,000 years of history.
With the first phase of the $500 million, 300,000-square foot, world-class Maryland Live! Casino now complete, a host of dining options and 4,700 slot machines and elec- tronic table games await attendees. After completion of the second phase of its con- struction, Maryland Live! will be the third largest commercial casino in the nation.
New restaurants in Annapolis include the Federal House, which offers “dining out with your dog.” Dog and people menus will tempt the taste buds of man and his “best friend,” while a selection of treats is sup- plied by Paws Pet Boutique.
Grapes Wine Bar features an exotic wine list and a variety of small plate dishes, plus weekly specials allowing guests to try top spirits from around the world - one glass at a time.
