Why Bloomington?

Bloomington is one of the best college towns in America because of Indiana University’s direct connection to walkable downtown Bloomington. Bloomington holds hundreds of restaurants, nightlife spots, shops, attractions, and hotel rooms. It creates experiences that can only be found here. The atmosphere created by the combination of that university culture and community personality makes Bloomington an incredibly unique group destination. 

Although always changing and balancing growth, Bloomington remains a charming, safe, progressive, and affordable small town boasting a state-of-the art hospital complex, vibrant arts community, storied history, generous social services, nearby feeder towns, and Indiana’s largest lake, national forest and abundant outdoor attractions. Bloomington offers safe and affordable experience in a smaller, less dense community, making the Bloomington Convention Center an ideal location for business, healthcare, safety, sustainability, technology, arts, and all types of group events.  

Bloomington is easily accessible for Midwest business travelers and beyond because of its south-central location in Indiana along the I-69 corridor. Transportation from the Indianapolis International Airport to Bloomington takes less than one hour.
