Business Events

Our historic building has served as the venue of choice for many of the most important visitors in Billings’ history, including presidents, dignitaries, Hollywood celebrities, and even visiting royalty.

Today, the Depot is the premier location in Billings for many corporate events, including strategic planning meetings, training sessions, trade shows, conferences, holiday parties, receptions and board meetings.

The Depot has partnered with Project Lunch and DiA Events to make business events at the Depot even easier! This new turnkey approach to meetings gives businesses the benefits of the Depot plus fresh, locally-sourced event food and the latest in technology.

The Depot campus offers multiple meeting spaces both indoor and outdoor so you can design the most ideal flow and experience for your guests. 

With high ceilings, flexible seating and Downtown amenities, we can accommodate any meeting style, size and format. Imagine being able to move tables around in the middle of your meeting to change from presentation to breakout session. Or, food trucks rolling up for lunch instead of boxed lunches. How about a brewery tour before dinner or a visit to our historic walking tour to get your guests out in the sunshine during their break. Our unique venue and convenient location Downtown will make your event easy, fun and memorable.

Your event rental includes:

  • Tables and chairs
  • Professional sound system with microphones
  • Podium
  • Room setup and breakdown
  • Wire grid on ceiling in Baggage Room for décor, lighting and power
  • Loading zone can accommodate small to large transportation
  • Use of the catering kitchen and conference room
  • Private event host to assist with day of logistics

At the Depot you can also use the caterer of your choice, allowing many companies to save money in food costs when compared to venues that require you to use the in-house food service.

The Depot is also a Certified Autism Center with 100% of staff certified to assist guests with sensory sensitivities.

Project Lunch

Founded on the idea that food should not be an afterthought at events. Every meal is individually created and packaged in beautiful, eco-friendly containers. Project Lunch works with our community of local growers and producers to source local ingredients. “Every bite tells a story just like every stone at the Billings Depot”, says Sarah Moyer, owner/operator, Project Lunch. “The goal is for meeting guests to be satisfied and rejuvenated so they can finish their work day in a happier state of mind.”
