Hotel Booked Through Convention
The convention is held at the Doubletree Bloomington – Minneapolis South located at the intersection of Minnesota State Highway 100 and Interstate 494. Convergence has grown so large that the convention handles booking for the entire Doubletree hotel for the 4-day-weekend. Since the 2010 convention cycle, an online hotel room reservation system was established. For those who miss out on rooms, CONvergence also secured room blocs at the Sofitel and Crowne Plaza. Adjacent to the hotel one may eat like royalty at either Burger King or Dairy Queen. A T.G.I. Friday's restaurant is in the parking lot. An adjacent strip mall contains a Caribou Coffee, Subway, Cheetah Pizza and Eddington's. Address is 7800 Normandale Blvd. Minneapolis, Minnesota 55439.

Famous quotes containing the words hotel and/or convention:
“They all see you when you least suspect.
Out flat in your p.j.’s glowering at T.V.
or at the oven gassing the cat
or at the Hotel 69 head to knee.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“No convention gets to be a convention at all except by grace of a lot of clever and powerful people first inventing it, and then imposing it on others. You can be pretty sure, if you are strictly conventional, that you are following genius—a long way off. And unless you are a genius yourself, that is a good thing to do.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
