AMP Bloomington is the one time all year when the people building Bloomington's future are in the same place: founders, investors, employers, students, and the visitors Homecoming brings home. For three days each October, they show up for each other.

It's the flagship event of Amplify Bloomington, the nonprofit civic platform connecting people, ideas, and place across the city. Programming runs across downtown venues, including the Buskirk-Chumley Theater, the Indiana Memorial Union, The Mill, and the Trades District, and leads into IU Homecoming weekend.

Three days:

Wednesday, Oct 28: Opening night at the Buskirk-Chumley Theater, with a keynote from Mike Clem, CEO of Sweetwater, and a reception to follow.
Thursday, Oct 29: A full day of workshops, panels, and networking across the city, built around the clusters driving Bloomington's economy.
Friday, Oct 30: A closing showcase, into Homecoming weekend as the city fills up.

Whether you're building a company, looking for the capital and talent to grow one, or finding a reason to build your career here, there's a place for you in the room.

Free to attend. Registration required, and you can choose the days you'll join.
