Airport Shuttle Options

Star of America and Go Express Travel

Bloomington is 45 miles from the Indianapolis International Airport (IND). There are airport shuttles running every two hours with drop locations at each of the recommended hotels. Shuttles typically run from 4:15AM until 10:40PM.

Dining Options

Bloomington offers a wide variety of places to eat as the University has drawn in peoples from all around the world along with their excellent food.

The ‘4th Street Restaurants’ is a common reference to trying out Thai (Siam House), Turkish (Anatolia), and Indian (Taste of India) cuisine.

Sushi places are sprinkled throughout the east and west side of town with Japonee Express being one of the closer locations to the convention center.

For our pizza lovers, those that have ever ventured to Bloomington before will tell you that there is no other place to go than Mother Bear’s Pizza.

Breakfast and lunch will be taken care of at the conference, but if you arrive early or stick around after the conference, we would highly recommend checking out Farm, Uptown Cafe, or the Runcible Spoon for breakfast food.

Planned Socials

For those of you that plan to arrive the night before the conference, Megaputer hopes to see you at the Meet & Greet, held at Sweet Grass from 8:00 – 10:00 PM (Tuesday, Oct. 17th). This will be a casual affair for informal introductions to speakers and participants before the conference kicks off.

To our guest speakers, partners, and company guests, Megaputer would like to treat each of you to dinner at the Irish Lion Restaurant and Pub Wednesday, October 18th at 6:30 PM and at Malibu Grill Thursday, October 19th at 6:30 PM. Be sure to set a reminder to meet us there. (See map below).
