Champaign Dine Around

Mix and mingle with other conference attendees by signing up to attend a casual dinner at some of our local members' favorite dining spots! SCUP has made dinner reservations (under reservation name SCUP) at a variety of restaurants on Tuesday, October 9. Each attendee is responsible for their own bill and gratuity. Spots are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Transportation is provided between the I Hotel and a central drop-off/pick-up point in downtown Champaign. A dinner host for each restaurant will coordinate individuals from the drop-off point to the restaurant location. The Dine Around shuttle will depart at 7:00 PM from the main lobby of the I Hotel. Shuttles to/from downtown Champaign will operate approximately every 15 minutes. The last shuttle from downtown Champaign will leave at 10:45 PM.

Can't make the SCUP shuttle? The I Hotel also operates a complimentary shuttle between the hotel and downtown Champaign. Inquire at the front desk for a schedule and reservations.
