Highline College Conference and Event Services

Highline College Conference and Event Services provides bookable campus spaces for organisers planning meetings, training sessions, conferences and community events in Des Moines, Washington. The range of rooms and halls can accommodate groups from small gatherings to events of up to 400 people, depending on the space and layout selected. Options include meeting rooms, classrooms, a lecture hall and larger multipurpose areas suitable for presentations, seminars, receptions and formal dining.

Organisers can discuss their event requirements with the conference team and arrange a tour before booking. The service coordinates room reservations, contracts and event logistics, and can help plan the setup. Depending on the room, available features include tables and chairs, presentation equipment, built-in computers, projectors, microphones, Wi-Fi and other basic audiovisual support. Some rentals also include an on-site staff member during the event. Campus parking is available for guests.

The larger spaces offer flexible layouts for conferences, lectures, banquets and social gatherings, while smaller rooms work well for workshops, board meetings and breakout sessions. External groups can enquire about weekday and weekend availability. Organisers may work with a caterer of their choice, as food preparation and storage facilities are not provided with the room hire. Highline College does not host weddings, birthdays or private parties, so its facilities are best suited to business, educational and community gatherings rather than private celebrations.
