Agenda
The iConverge 2025 agenda will be coming soon!
iConverge 2023 Recap: Take a look at iConverge 2023! While some of the programming might be different, you can expect a similar level of excitement.
Transportation and Parking
For the Friday sessions, free parking is available in the northwest and southwest lots of at the State Farm Center off First Street (see map). Parking should be plentiful, and you should have no problem finding a spot.
A shuttle will be available on Friday, September 6, to take you from the State Farm Center to the Business Instructional Facility (BIF). Please note that the Shuttle will also take you to the group dinner after the afternoon session. The shuttle will return to the State Farm Center at the end of the day. So, you can leave your car at the State Farm Center throughout Friday.
Parking around campus may be a bit trickier. Parking spaces around BIF and the Illini Union require payment at the meters. Be aware that most campus parking is now available only by using a payment app (MobileMeter, ParkMobile, or PayByPhone). You may want to consider Uber/Lyft/cab rides.
Enjoy a Fighting Illini football game!
We hope you’ll be able to join for the Fighting Illini football game on Saturday.
Parking
The best single game parking would be in Research Park. It is $20 in advance or $25 the day of the game.
Tailgate & Networking
Look for the Gies Business flags on the west corner of Kirby and Oak Street in Lot 31 (see map).
