Now one of the largest convention centers in America, the Indiana Convention
Center is connected by skywalks to more hotel rooms than any other city in the
nation. Surrounded by more than 200 restaurants and clubs, well-known sports
venues, and a 10-block state park that features top museums, green space and
a convenient canal walk. It’s the reason Sports Illustrated's Peter King calls
Indianapolis "the most walkable downtown in America."
With over billions in convention industry investments, no other city in the nation
can match Indianapolis’ collection of upgrades and developments.
