About Indiana Convention Center

History

A $275 million expansion in 2011 has made the Indiana Convention Center & Lucas Oil Stadium (ICCLOS) a powerhouse destination for the largest events in the country – including the 2012 Super Bowl. With its striking contemporary look and sense of openness, the Indiana Convention Center redefines the character of a trade show and meeting venue. One of the largest convention centers in America, the center is connected by skywalks to more hotel rooms than any other city in the nation. Also linked to the center is a four-story urban shopping mall, 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.

With over $3 billion in convention industry investments, no other city in the nation can match Indianapolis’ collection of upgrades and developments.

Located in the heart of downtown, the Indiana Convention Center has hosted events since 1972.
