I've never been to a "Gillette to Brett" conference before. Will I actually get to meet the famous speakers you bring in?
Yes! Unlike some conventions, where a headlining guest might fly in just before his appearance, speak, and then immediately leave, all of the Special Guests and speakers at
From Gillette to Brett III are on site the whole time, participating in the conference just as you will be - from the opening reception on Friday evening to the final Sunday brunch. We also provide time for autographs for authors and Special Guests.

I am flying into the Indianapolis International Airport for the conference. Will I have to rent a car to get to Bloomington, Indiana?
No, no rental car is necessary. There is direct shuttle service between the airport and The Biddle Hotel at the Indiana Memorial Union in Bloomington. The service is provided by
Bloomington Shuttle Service.
To get to the Bloomington Shuttle, exit baggage claim and cross the street to Ground Transportation, and look for the sign for the shuttle. Airport Shuttle Tickets may be purchased for $20 at the vending kiosk machines. (Exact cash or a major credit card is required to make the purchase. The machines cannot make change.) Or you can
order your shuttle ticket online in advance, at a discounted rate of $15.
You get on at the airport, and get off at the front door of the hotel. It couldn't be easier!
Does my registration include meals?
All meals are separate from the registration fee. Scheduled conference meals include the Saturday evening Banquet, and a Sunday Morning Brunch.
The Banquet: The Banquet is a pre-ordered/pre-paid event. Registration for the Banquet is $40 per person. We have separated this from the general conference events because some people prefer to attend the conference but skip the banquet and dine on their own.
The Brunch: The Sunday Brunch will be held in
The Tudor Room in the Indiana Memorial Union. There will be a designated space for conference attendees from 9:00 to 11:00, affording one last opportunity to visit with friends, both old and new. Each attendee for this event will be billed separately at this time by the Tudor Room.
Is the IU Cinema in the Memorial Union?
The Saturday night showing of
The Seven-Per-Cent Solution will be held in the IU Cinema, which is located in the IU Auditorium, two blocks from the Union in the heart of the IU Bloomington campus.
