Durand Center

Durand Conference Center

Located in historic downtown Harrison, Arkansas, the L.E. "Gene" Durand Conference Center is the ideal location for your next event. The center is within walking distance of restaurants and shopping. Just a short drive away is the beautiful Buffalo National River and exciting Branson, Missouri. Whether planning a small luncheon or an elaborate trade show, the Durand Center offers easy access to first rate meeting accommodations in a secluded private setting on the Center Campus of North Arkansas College. The 22,000 square foot multi-purpose facility opened in late 2008 and was designed to meet a variety of longstanding needs. The Durand Center has the capacity to host a banquet for more than 400 guests or a lecture-type meeting for nearly twice that number, while simultaneously hosting separate events in six other meeting rooms. Like the remainder of the facility, the large banquet hall features the latest technology. Presenters at the head table and their presentation materials will be shown on three large screens, and design features allow event to be broadcast live on local television.
