Conferences & Milestone Events

IslandWood is located on Bainbridge Island, just 35 minutes from downtown Seattle. With inspiration from the land itself, our six acres of conference facilities feature leading edge green building design and cover just a small portion of IslandWood's 255 forested acres. Ideal for corporate leadership programs or for nonprofit groups to come for a day or overnight. IslandWood provides a rich, natural setting to relax, connect as a team, and gain fresh perspectives on work.

Exceptional Site

Our meeting facilities can accommodate an intimate group or a conference for 200 and feature sustainable building elements and state-of-the-art technology. Overnight accommodations include comfortable lodges, with ample sitting areas around central stone fireplaces to discuss the day's events. Guests will also enjoy five miles of trails and encounter a Bird Blind, Suspension Bridge, pond, marsh, estuary, and Tree House overlooking a bog. Venture out at daybreak for a contemplative walk or an energizing run.
