Testimonials

“The entire Denny Sanford PREMIER Center team was a pleasure to work with, both leading up to and during our 2022 National Veterans Golden Age Games in Sioux Falls! Cheri in Sales was extremely responsive and professional, making our contracting process pleasant.

“The team I get to work with at SFCC is outstanding and makes my job very eary from the contract with Cheri Anderson to the event planning and the actual event with Jen Swanson (Event Manager). Jen knows her stuff and has a great time in all she does. It would not be the same without Jen helping us.”

"The Sioux Falls Convention Center has always gone above and beyond with every experience I’ve had in this facility and with their staff. In April the state student council convention was moved from its 20 year home in Pierre to the Sioux Falls Convention Center. This convention has 1200 participants and needs over a dozen meeting rooms. The staff was very professional and there was no detail left to chance. The event managers predicted all of our needs before we knew we had those needs. The food was excellent, and to top it off they were able to feed 1200 high school students in less than 25 minutes. This is a first class facility with a first class staff right here in Sioux Falls!"
