How attendees reach it

At 96 km (60 mi), Indianapolis International Airport (IND) makes arrival day a travel day. Open registration the evening before if you can.

It is central, so a hotel block within walking distance is realistic and you can skip a shuttle entirely.

West Lafayette has 7 venues mapped in total and a population of 46,338. The West Lafayette guide covers the airport, the local time zone and what else is bookable nearby.

Programming it

A room this size is a plenary and nothing else. Keynotes, awards and general sessions work; the breakouts, the exhibition and the catering all have to happen somewhere else, so the venue is really the anchor of a campus rather than the whole event.

  • award ceremonies

    A stage, a bowl of seats and a control room already in place.

  • festivals

    An audience of 62,500 is festival scale, not conference scale.

  • company all-hands

    One room, everybody in it, nobody watching on a screen in an overflow space.
