Move over Super Bowl...the 2012 ISPA EXPO is gearing up and ready to call Indy "home" for a week in March! According to recent reports recapping the event, many, MANY people made Indy their home this past weekend.
Organizers say more than 1 million people visited the Super Bowl Village over 10 days, including more than 150,000 on game day! It doesn't stop there...everyone who attended the Super Bowl sang the city's praises for their kindness and hospitality.
Judy Battista, a New York Times sports writer tweeted: "take a bow, Indy. You were spectacular hosts. Hope the game is back here soon."
From what we've heard, Indianapolis put in a lot of hard work, winning praise for its cleanliness, friendliness and the compact downtown that made it easy for visitors to walk to events and restaurants. All we can say is, "We can't wait!"
As the days and weeks get closer to our event, we'll post more about the sights, sounds and libations of Indy. For the time being, we suggest taking a look at the Indianapolis Visitors and Convention Center Association (ICVA) website. LOTS of great info, right at your fingertips! And in a few weeks, we'll actually have a guest post on here from staff at IVCA, so keep coming back!
Until then friends, sweet dreams--and Indy, don't worry about catching up on sleep, we're bringing TONS of mattresses to your convention center in just five short weeks! Naps for everyone!!!
