I used to go to SIAM meetings every year. Most of the time, they were in
"major cities" in a hotel. But one year, they held it on the campus of
RPI in Troy, New York, and the housing was also on campus. That was my
favorite SIAM meeting. :)

Of course, Indiana University is out. First of all, it's in the Central
Time Zone. Second, it's the epicenter of a large Scheme community. :)
