The convention center in downtown Indianapolis is a great place to go to events, have various meeting from many org.... Easy access from hotels and downtown restaurants. Elevators and easy handicap accessible.
With a covered walkway from the JW Marriott hotel weather is never a factor in getting into or out of these huge complex.
The convention center is a great location for a convention or meeting. There are multiple hotels which attach to this convention center making it an easy place to meet even in bad weather. I was in Indianapolis during a very cold week and it was much appreciated to not have to go outside to get here from my hotel. The football and baseball stadiums are easy access from this convention center as well. When you stay in the convention center area, you also have ample dining opportunities. If you travel takes you to this convention center, then don't hesitate to go.
We came here for a cheerleading competition. The place is one of the largest convention centers I have ever been to. One needs to know where he/she is going in there. The signs are very good, so not too hard to get around. I like the set up of the whole downtown complex. Many hotels are connected via skywalks. A nice mall is also directly accessible.
My concern here was the location and quantity of bathrooms. The bathrooms that were available inside the facility were awful. They had people in them full time to stop paper products but the toilets were filthy and looked like they hadn't been cleaned in over a week. Not good with 5,000 girls on site.
We have been several times for Trade Show over that past several years and the place is great for location, space and service.
Clean and spacious. This convention center also offers coat check (on certain times). I have to say that due to its layout, it appears like it is a giant maze. The nice feature of this center is it connects to several hotels via a breezeway without being exposed to the elements (especially during winter).
Good signage for getting about within and along skywalk, good supply of restrooms, comfortable venue without being too cold. Good AV during conference.
The were about 2,000 of us there for the convention. The exhibit hall. Was very adequate and very well laid out for all the exhibits.
We visited the Convention Center for the annual Auto Show and it was the highlight of our weekend. The Convention Center was Large, Clean and appeared to be new (or maybe it was just the new car smell). There was enough space to walk around for 3 to 4 hours seeing cars and still have a break at either the concession stand or the restroom.
