We encourage attendees to drive to Bloomington on the morning of October 27 in order to arrive by 11 am for check-in and lunch (see below for meal details). If staying at the Indiana Memorial Union (IMU) Biddle Hotel, attendees may drop their luggage off at the concierge/front desk area any time before hotel check-in at 4 pm. Conference check-in will be in the Georgian Room in the IMU, and regular and lightning talks will take place in the Whittenberger Auditorium, both located on the first floor (see full building map here). The Friday reception, evening keynote talk, and all coffee breaks will be held in the Georgian Room.

We intend to cover the costs of hotel accommodations for all attendees. Attendees should request such accommodations in their Registration form; we will assign rooms at the IMU Biddle Hotel based on this form. Note that those who have received complimentary accommodations should plan to bring their photo IDs and a credit or debit card to swipe to cover any incidentals at check-in, which begins at 4 pm (though some rooms may be available earlier).

Any attendees who do not wish to receive complimentary accommodations are still encouraged to book their rooms at the IMU hotel for convenience but may book any hotel of their choosing (other hotels within a ~15-minute walk include The Graduate Hotel and the Grant Street Inn).
