Check out the cool FlatCon Welcom Flyer (PDF, 927KB) that the Bloomington-Normal Area Convention and Visitors Bureau website created for us! It has driving directions, a map, our Official FlatCon 2005 hotel, the Ramada Limited, and nearby restaurants! (WARNING: this file is almost a whole megabyte in size!)

Starting in 2005, FlatCon has moved to the Interstate Center in Bloomington, Illinois (Travel info). This gives FlatCon more space than ever before! Almost all events will be under one roof, too, so less rushing around and more gaming! Check out the 2005 Floorplan.
The Interstate Center is a modern exposition center handling everything from the McLean County Fair to wedding receptions. It's got plenty of parking and the facilities are very disability friendly, too. The Interstate Center will also be providing food concessions for FlatCon and we've asked for a "Gamer Menu."
FlatCon has reserved a block of rooms for our out-of-town guests at the Ramada Limited - Bloomington, conveniently located adjacent to the Interstate Center at 919 Maple Hill Rd, Bloomington, IL 61704 (Yahoo Map for location and travel directions). Our FlatCon group rates are:
All guests recieve a complimentary continental breakfast. The hotel has an indoor pool, offers free local calls, and free high-speed internet access.
Check-in begins at 2:00 p.m., and check-out is noon.
To make reservations, visit the Ramada Limited - Bloomington website or call (309)828-0900. Be sure to mention FlatCon to get the group rate.
Nearby businesses and facilities include WalMart, Heartland Bank, Steak and Shake, Bob Evans Restaurant, and Fiesta Rancherra restaurant just to name a few!
The Greater Bloomigton-Normal and McLean County area is one of the fastest growing in the Midwest. You won't lack for things to do or places to dine. The Bloomington-Normal Area Convention and Visitors Bureau website is full of local information on how to get here and all of the great things to do. We have all sorts of restaurants from standard American to ethnic like Chinese, Japanese, Mexican, and Indian. (Getting pizza or even hotwings and burgers delivered is no problem, too!) And, if you want a night off of gaming to unwind, check out our nightlife featuring dozens of nightclubs and pubs featuring local musical talent playing everything from Jazz to Dance to Rock. (Of course, these distractions would eat into gaming time, eh?)
