Non-Profit Engagement

Leave your mark on Indianapolis by engaging with local non-profits through service projects or giving. We recognize that creating opportunities for CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) programs remains top-of-mind for planners. Through our CSR guide, planners can peruse Indianapolis-based nonprofits, finding the best giving opportunity that matches your group’s connection to the city’s community.

Welcome Program

The city will know you are here! Our Welcome Program is designed to make our community aware of your presence and extend a generous helping hand to your organization and attendees. Your welcome may include electronic signage; customized signs at hotel front desks, restaurants, and stores; a listing in the Convention Calendar; and alerts to our hospitality community, media, and city officials.

Information & Restaurant Booth

This service is like having a concierge at your event. We can set up an information booth at your venue to provide attendees with info about the city, make restaurant reservations, and much more. For larger conventions, just let us know of your desire to take advantage of the program, and we’ll take it from there.

VIP Spouse & Event Assistance

Your VIPs are our VIPs! We’ll work with you to develop great ideas for amenity packages, spouse tours, and special event programs. We’re also happy to be a part of your local organizing committee.

In Indy, we understand that your success is our success. The Destination Experience Team provides decades of expertise and local knowledge as an extension of your team. It is our goal that planners, and attendees, have an overwhelmingly positive experience in Indy.
