Getting to the Convention

Until transporter technology is developed, you must take a shuttle craft or land vehicle of some kind to CONvergence. This page should help you decide which option is best for you!

Bus & Train

Taking the Metro Transit bus or light rail to downtown Minneapolis is your easy and low-cost way to get to the convention. You can find everything you need to plan your trip on the Bus & Train page.

Bicycles & Scooters

There are several Bicycle racks surrounding the Hyatt Regency. The majority of the racks are located on northwest side of the W Grant St. and Nicollet Mall crossing. All racks are free of charge. CONvergence is not responsible for the safety or security of bicycles or other items left on the bike racks.

Driving

Minneapolis has many places to park within walking distance of the Hyatt Regency. See the Parking page for parking information.

Carpooling

Check out the CONvergence Connections Facebook group to find or organize a carpool.
