The perfect venue for your retreat
Retreats, conferences and club meetings have been held at Q Center for more than 40 years. Once you see our idyllic setting along the beautiful Fox River, you’ll understand why. Because our 95 wooded acres are less than an hour from Chicago’s O’Hare and Midway International Airports, Q Center is more convenient for attendee travel than resorts in neighboring states.
Q Center has a wide variety of versatile meeting space to accommodate your event – regardless of the size of your group. Our retreat center’s 150,000-square-foot meeting venue was designed to provide the right configuration for every type of program imaginable. What’s more, our 1,042 all-single guest rooms make it possible to keep the whole group under one roof without requiring attendees to share a room.
Full IACC accreditation results in the perfect environment for retreats and meetings.
