Sands from Strategy to Store Shelf"
October 5-7, 2008 | Indianapolis, IN
In Indianapolis, it's so easy to do so much. Indy offers big-city amenities in a convenient, easy-to-
navigate package wrapped in a friendly, inviting atmosphere. The nation's 12th largest city has gone through a dramatic revitalization and a stunning renaissance that makes it a different place than it was just a decade ago. Indy is the perfect balance of cosmopolitan style and small-town charm that makes it a successful destination for leisure travel, conventions and group tours, catering to nearly 22 million visitors a year.
Indianapolis is commonly referred to as the Crossroads of America and is easily accessible from a wide variety of locations, with many interstate highways bisecting the city. Not only that, but half the nation's population is within a day's drive, which makes traveling to Indy by car an attractive option for many. If flying is more your speed, the Indianapolis International Airport offers travel on 11 airlines and nonstop and direct flights to 39 destinations. In addition, it's only a short 15-minute drive to the heart of downtown.
