What To Know About The Indiana Convention Center

When JAMfest Cheer Super Nationals visits the Indiana Convention Center again in 2026, returning competitors and their friends and families will get to revisit some of their favorite places and activities in downtown Indianapolis, while first-timers should look forward to a memorable trip to the Hoosier State.

The Indiana Convention Center has been a destination for major events since the 1970s and continues to attract every kind of show, sporting event, concert, pageant, meeting, expo, and more to downtown Indianapolis, thanks to frequent updates, renovations, and growth that keep it on the cutting edge. 

The property includes dozens of meeting rooms, 11 exhibit halls, multiple ballrooms, and Lucas Oil Stadium, which opened in 2008 and hosted the Super Bowl in 2012. 

There are more than 7,000 hotel rooms in downtown Indianapolis, including 4,700 connected to the Indiana Convention Center via skywalk – which means not even having to be out in the Indiana winter, unless you want to, of course!

The venue is 15 minutes from the airport and surrounded by 200 restaurants, so it will be convenient – and delicious – from the minute you touch down.
