FlatCon returns to the Interstate Center at 2301 West Market Street in Bloomington, Illinois, 61704 (Google map). All events are under one roof so less rushing around and more gaming for you! 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."

The Greater Bloomigton-Normal (see map of the Twin Cities in PDF format (313Kb)) 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. Bloomington-Normal also boasts 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?)
