Knight Center at Washington University

The Charles F. Knight Executive Education and Conference Center is a five-story, 135,000-square-foot facility on Washington University's Danforth Campus in St. Louis. Situated at the heart of the Olin Business School, it was built to bring together students, faculty, corporate leaders, and executives for collaborative dialogue and strategic thinking. Fully renovated in 2025, the venue now features more than 19,000 square feet of flexible meeting and event space, 66 hotel guest rooms, full-service in-house catering, and advanced built-in A/V technology throughout every room. The Knight Center holds IACC certification and earned the 2024 Venue of the Year honor at the MPI Circle of Excellence Awards. It accommodates events of all scales — from intimate executive sessions to private dinners and special gatherings of up to 200 guests — with dedicated conference planning staff on site to support every detail.
