DroidCon 2024

Calling all DroidBuilders!

It’s time to celebrate with your fellow builders. We invite you to join us in Indianapolis, June 20th – June 23rd, 2024 at the Holiday Inn Indianapolis Airport for a time of innovation, collaboration, and informative sessions.

Breakfast buffet included for Saturday and Sunday.

We’re going to celebrate it with some hands-on building during our DroidCon After Hours. We will be accepting 10 teams who will be choosing random box that contains a mini-droid (the surprise is the style of dome) and your team will be assembling and painting this droid. These droids will be used by the STEM teams at Celebration in the STEM Room.

Event Faqs

Tickets

Can I purchase a ticket at the door with cash? No, we will not be offering tickets at the door. Tickets must be purchased from EventBrite and are on a first come, first served basis. We have limitations on numbers of attendees that we can have in the space so we have an attendee limit set.

Do I need to bring my printed ticket to check-in? Yes and no, we will be using a scanner to check attendees in and provide you with your swag bag of goodies. If you have your ticket whether printed or electronically we will be able to check you in faster. We’ll still be able to look you up and check you in, but we’d much prefer you had the barcode!

Droids

Can I bring my droid? Uh, yeah! That’s what this is all about. We’ve set aside an area to display droids so you can show off your creations and let others check out how you’ve made yours.

What droids can I bring? Any droids are acceptable.

Table Space

There will be table space you can use to setup any displays you want to talk about, again, please don't bring your garage and be reasonable with how much you plan to use. We will attempt to accomodate you but we do reserve the right to say NO THANK YOU.

Vendors

Can I bring stuff to sell? Sure, it’s totally acceptable to bring your droid related items to sell.

SWAG

Is there going to be some cool SWAG available? Why yes, yes there will be. We’ve partnered with TeeSpring for a T-Shirt option, that’s external from the event itself but we encourage you to pick one up if you like. You will be able to order this in advance before and even after the event. Your ticket includes a commemorative patch, and badge.

Hotel

Is there a code for booking the hotel? Not really, we have reserved a 35 room block at the Holiday Inn Indianapolis Airport. I will say, they honored our room block even when we exceeded that guaranteed number. We recommend you call the hotel directly to book your room at (317) 856-6200. Tell them you are attending DroidCon to receive the room rate negotiated ($132)

There are additional hotels nearby should you prefer another location, but why would you...
