Is your group considering Midwest conference centers for your next event or gathering?
Known as a world-class university, Purdue’s West Lafayette campus offers up a world-class conference center for your meetings, conferences, seminars, ceremonies, weddings, receptions, symposiums, reunions and other gatherings and events. Offering first-class lodgings, a convenient and central Midwest location, and a long list of amenities, Purdue is a premier choice in convention centers within the region. That only makes sense, since the campus boasts its very own Tourism and Hospitality Research Center.
Just 60 miles north of Indianapolis, 120 miles southwest of Fort Wayne, 125 miles from Chicago, 94 miles from Champaign, IL and 170 miles from Cincinnati, this campus can easily gather attendees from the entire area and welcome them to your event. The nearest International Airport is in Indianapolis, but there is an airport in West Lafayette as well, the Purdue University Airport. It’s very centrally located for a regional conference.
