About ICCLOS
The ICCLOS campus spans over 1.3 million square feet of exhibit and meeting space, including:
- Address: 100 S Capitol Ave, Indianapolis, IN 46225
- 11 exhibit halls with 566,600 square feet of contiguous space
- 71 meeting rooms and 3 major ballrooms: Sagamore, 500, and Wabash
- Lucas Oil Stadium integration: 183,000 square feet of additional exhibit space and 12 meeting rooms
Its multi-building layout and column-free halls allow exhibitors to design large, immersive booths while maintaining excellent attendee flow.
Key Features & Connectivity
- Skywalk System: Climate-controlled walkways link ICCLOS to 12 hotels with over 4,700 rooms, the most connected hotel rooms of any U.S. convention center. After the 2026 Signia by Hilton expansion, this will grow to over 5,500 connected rooms.
- Stadium Integration: Lucas Oil Stadium serves as both an NFL venue and a massive exhibition space. Retractable features provide unique skyline views, and the field can be configured for large-scale trade shows.
- Downtown Location: Situated in the heart of Indianapolis, the campus is within walking distance of 200+ restaurants, shopping centers, and major attractions like Gainbridge Fieldhouse.
- Sustainability & Flexibility: ICCLOS recycles hundreds of tons of materials annually, and virtually column-free exhibit halls allow fully customizable layouts.
This connectivity creates a true “indoor city” experience, allowing attendees to move seamlessly between hotels, the convention center, and stadium spaces.
