We are excited to announce that in spite of the economic downturn and the challenges created anytime construction is looming near on the calendar, the ICVA sales team exceeded our largest annual goal ever during the 2008 calendar year.

In total, the ICVA worked with 559 Indianapolis events that will bring 685,643 room-nights to the city in future years, which is 106% of the 645,000 room-night goal that we set for the year. 

To offer a bit of perspective, goals for 2006 & 2007 were 521,000 and 565,000 room-nights respectively.  As we continue to get closer and closer to the years when we will have increased Indianapolis meeting space and hotel room inventory, this number will continue to climb as we work hard to fill the additional space and hotels coming on-line.

But of course none of this is possible without you - our clients and partners. 

To our customers and prospective customers: we appreciate the opportunity to continue to earn your trust and the right to do business with you and your organization.  Whether you are an annual client or a group that has just recently put Indy on your radar screen, we wish you a fantastic 2009 and look forward to our next conversation!

To our partners: we are honored to be in a position where we represent your product or service and look forward to continuing to do so as we enter an exciting time for our city.  Thanks for all you do to make Indianapolis such a great city for conventions, events and meetings!
