ACPA Annual Convention 2014:Local Arrangements and Career Central Update

 

Local Arrangements – Lots to Walk to Near Convention Center and Hotels

We are excited to welcome you to Indianapolis in 2014! Many opportunities exist to reinvent yourself this year. The downtown area offers a number of restaurants, museums, outdoor venues for running/walking, and shopping. As we approach convention, check back to Developments for information on how you can navigate the city. In this issue we will provide information about a few attractions that you will find within walking distance of the hotel.

As we help you get to know Indianapolis, the first thing you will need to know is that the locals refer to the city as Indy! The convention site will be downtown and ACPA members will be staying in hotels that are directly connected to the Indy Convention Center via skywalks. Indy is designed to be navigated as a pedestrian, and as a result you will find a number of attractions within walking distance of the hotels.

A must see while in Indy is The Canal Walk. The canal offers a 3 mile loop where you will find locals and tourists running, walking and enjoying the sights. This will be the perfect option for that morning run or a quiet walk away from the convention center.

Along the canal you will find the NCAA Hall of Champions. This interactive museum provides a historical and current perspective on the over 400,000 student athletes who are part of the NCAA in our higher education institutions.

The Eiteljorg Museum provides another unique opportunity to explore Native American and Western Art collections. It is only one of two such museums that are east of the Mississippi.

Reinventing yourself during the 2014 convention will happen through both amazing educational sessions offered during convention and the phenomenal attractions that will be within walking distance of the hotels.
