The special ambiance of the peaceful oceanfront setting coupled with elegant meeting facilities contributes to a whole new outlook on conferences at The Sanderling. Located on one of the narrowest points on North Carolina's Outer Banks, The Sanderling's Conference Center provides meeting space for groups of 10 to 100 and offers breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and the Currituck Sound.

THE CONFERENCE CENTER

The Sanderling, a member of the International Association of Conference Centers (IACC), provides groups with a premier conference center, removed from the daily activity of the resort to allow privacy and concentration on the task at hand. However, the conference facility is within easy walking distance of all the resort's amenities so when work is over, recreation can begin.

The Board Room can accommodate up to 15 people optimum for a meeting or a meal, and is tastefully decorated with nautical antiques and Audubon prints.

The Swan and Heron Rooms, both of which open up onto a private oceanside deck for breaks, can be set up separately into the following configurations:

Reception: 30 - 50
Banquet: 20 - 50
Theatre: 30 - 40
U-Shape: 15 -25
Hollow Square: 15 - 25
Board Room: 15 - 20
School Room: 20 - 25

The two rooms can also be joined for larger groups.
Reception: 125 - 150
Banquet: 80 - 100
Theatre: 125 - 150
U-Shape: 35 - 40
Hollow Square: 40 - 50
Board Room: 35 - 40
School Room: 50 - 75

All rooms are furnished with ergonomically designed chairs for maximum comfort; hard writing surface tables; adjustable lighting and individual climate controls; and state-of-the-art audiovisual and sound systems.

Continuous coffee and snack breaks are set-up in the foyer. Banquet service is available in each meeting room, and special food and beverage arrangements can be made on the secluded outside decks.
Upstairs is a private executive suite with decks and views of both ocean and sound, for private receptions or small, informal meetings.

CONFERENCE AND BANQUET SERVICES

The Sanderling's exceptional staff is dedicated to anticipate any group's possible need, and responds with uncommon courtesy. Many custom options are available for breakfast, lunch, dinner and receptions. Options range from breakfast buffets, working lunches or box lunches to exciting themed dinners. Smaller groups can enjoy a relaxing meal from the Lifesaving Station restaurant. Meeting planners will find The Sanderling's conference staff more than willing to assist in menu and wine selections, to best suit the desire of the group.

SPECIAL PROGRAMS

The Sanderling's staff can develop a specific proposal to fit the group's specifications. With advanced planning, the entire spa can be reserved for a group for a few hours, or full day. Massage therapists can bring specially designed massage chairs to the meeting area for short back and neck massages during breaks. Stress reduction workshops and team-building activities can also be arranged.

AUDIOVISUAL

The Sanderling's in-house audiovisual service maintains an extensive inventory of AV equipment and can provide projectors, screens, video, sound and lighting systems.

TRANSPORTATION

The Sanderling is accessible by air through Norfolk International Airport, offering 200 flights daily from major cities and hubs throughout the U.S. Scheduled commuter connections to The Outer Banks Charter air, bus, van and limousine service are also available from the airport to the resort with advanced reservations.
