Dining

On-campus meal service is provided by UNI Dining. Conference groups are extended a discounted daily meal rate consisting of eating three consecutive meals - breakfast, lunch and dinner in the dining hall. Groups not eating all meals on campus will defer to the door rate for meals in the dining hall. Groups may request meals through UNI Catering for special events, such as receptions, picnics, coffee breaks, etc. Meals arranged through UNI Catering may incur an additional charge. Conference participants may also visit campus retail stores during breaks to purchase snacks, beverages and other items outside of meals. (Individual and guest stays do not apply.)
