Hotel Information

We have a block of rooms reserved at the Bloomington Hilton Garden Inn on North College Ave. It is very conveniently located for the training as well as downtown and all the swinging nightlife Bloomington has to offer. OK, maybe not all, but most. It’s a really nice hotel. It is about a 10-15 minute walk to the event location. We also plan on running a shuttle.

Unfortunately the deadline for the conference rate was August 18, but if the standard rate or location don't suit you, we have several other very fine lodging options in town. Search in the area of campus.

Shuttle Service To/From Airport

If you plan on taking either of these shuttles to Bloomington it will bring you to campus and downtown locations but may not go right to your hotel’s door. You might have a few blocks to walk, but nothing is that far here in Bloomington.
