Indianapolis — connected, convenient, compact. Indianapolis’ successful convention package is expanding to meet planners’ needs. By fall 2010, the Indiana Convention Center will increase to 566,000 sq. ft. of contiguous exhibit space. Exhibit space soars to 745,000 sq. ft. when combined with the attached Lucas Oil Stadium. Enhancing the facility are skywalks to 12 hotels and 4,700 rooms. Hyatt, Westin, Conrad, Omni and Marriott brands will be joined in 2011 by a 1,000 room JW Marriott. Add 200 walkable restaurants/night spots, 50 attractions, and an upscale, connected shopping mall — it’s no wonder that planners find Indianapolis an easy decision.
