The convention site, Grand Valley’s downtown campus, is approximately 15 minutes by taxi from the Gerald R. Ford International Airport, and is located in the heart of Grand Rapids, Michigan (a three-hour drive from Detroit, and two-and-a-half hours from Chicago). The official convention hotel, the Amway Grand, offers special rates of $137.00/night – the same price applies for up to four occupants. To reserve a room, please go to the following website:https://resweb.passkey.com/Resweb.do?mode=welcome_ei_new&eventID=9783422, or you can call the hotel directly, at 1-800-253-3590.
The convention hotel is walking distance from the Richard M. DeVos center and Loosemore Auditorium on Grand Valley’s downtown campus, and there is a wide assortment of places to eat, from inexpensive eateries to fine restaurants, all within walking distance of a few city blocks. Sites of interest in the area include the Grand Rapids Art Museum (with a lovely room of rare and valuable prints), the Public Museum of Grand Rapids, the DeVos Performing Arts Hall, the Van Andel Arena, and the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library and Museum.
