Session Spotlights
Stay at the Center of It All
Make your VenueConnect 2026 experience seamless by staying at our official host hotel, the JW Marriott Indianapolis. Located in the heart of downtown, this modern, full-service hotel puts you steps away from the Indiana Convention Center and connected via skywalk—so getting to sessions, networking events, and exhibits is effortless.
Designed with both comfort and productivity in mind, the JW Marriott offers spacious guest rooms with stunning city views, thoughtfully designed workspaces, and amenities that help you recharge after a full day of learning and connection.
Whether you’re grabbing coffee before an early session, hosting an impromptu meeting in the lobby, or unwinding after a packed day, everything you need is right here.
"As the live event industry continues to evolve, VenueConnect is an essential resource for expanding my knowledge and enhancing strategic planning. It provides a unique opportunity to learn from the collective experience of fellow venue managers, allowing me to make more informed decisions beyond the scope of my own experience."
"I have had the good fortune of being a member of quite a few organizations, but none of them hold my heart like the people in the International Association of Venue Managers! I have been a very proud member for 10 years now, and the opportunities I have had, memories I have made, and relationships I have built are second to none! I will be a part of this family for as long as I can and will continue to give it praise, time, money and energy!
