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:
“The talk shows are stuffed full of sufferers who have regained their health—congressmen who suffered through a serious spell of boozing and skirt-chasing, White House aides who were stricken cruelly with overweening ambition, movie stars and baseball players who came down with acute cases of wanting to trash hotel rooms while under the influence of recreational drugs. Most of them have found God, or at least a publisher.”
—Calvin Trillin (b. 1935)
“The metaphor of the king as the shepherd of his people goes back to ancient Egypt. Perhaps the use of this particular convention is due to the fact that, being stupid, affectionate, gregarious, and easily stampeded, the societies formed by sheep are most like human ones.”
—Northrop Frye (b. 1912)
