2015
5p- Society Annual Conference
Indianapolis,
Indiana
July
30 – August 2
“30
Years, Racing for Cri du Chat Syndrome Awareness”
The 2015 5p Minus Society’s annual
conference will be hosted in Indianapolis at the Sheraton at Keystone Crossing. Located on Indy’s trendy northeast side, the
Sheraton features excellent accommodations as well as access to the Fashion
Mall. The Fashion Mall at Keystone Crossing
hosts several premier shopping destinations, several restaurants and a movie
theater all within walking distance.
If you choose to venture away from
the Keystone area there are several exciting and fun things to do in
Indianapolis. Indianapolis is known as
the racing capital of the world mostly because of its hosting of the Indianapolis
500 mile race. Since 1911 drivers have
risk life and limb to tame the 2.5 mile oval at speeds over 225 mph. The Indianapolis Motor Speedway is also home
to NASCAR’s Brickyard 400 as well as Moto GP events. IMS features a hall of fame museum on the
speedway grounds with several exhibits as well as a grounds tour that let you
share in the storied tradition.
On your visit to Indy you might
consider these other options as well. The
Indianapolis Children’s Museum, the largest in the world, offers five stories
of excitement and education for children.
The Indianapolis Zoo, NCAA Hall of Champions, White River State Park, Indianapolis
Cycloplex, Indianapolis Museum of Art, Eiteljorg Museum, Indianapolis Indians,
Indianapolis Colts, Monument Circle and Circle Centre Mall all offer something
for everyone with many opportunities for enjoyment.
This year, the 5p- Society Board of
Directors is instituting a fundraising incentive program for those individuals
that raise money for the Indy conference.
