Bloomington and Area Attractions

Less than one hour away from Indianapolis International Airport, Bloomington is located in the scenic foothills of south central Indiana.

Local restaurants include an impressive array of ethnic cuisines, many within comfortable walking distance of the Indiana Memorial Union.

Indiana University, in the heart of Bloomington, is a careful blend of traditional and modern architecture within a park-like environment. Made of locally quarried limestone, the University buildings add beauty and charm to the scenic campus. Click here for a virtual tour of the campus.

The temperature in Bloomington in August is warm (highs around 85º F, lows around 60º F), and can be humid, with occasional rain. The conference venues and area businesses and restaurants are air-conditioned, so plan on bringing a light weight sweater or jacket with you. Bloomington is always on Eastern Standard Time, and at the time of the conference will be on the same time as Chicago, Illinois, and one hour behind New York City.
