ANNUAL EVENT

April 13th, 2023

at the Indiana Landmarks Center

This year's theme is "Gather Together for Success." We will feature four TAP Chat sessions where experts will have a conversation on how Indiana has achieved success coming out of the pandemic and what the plans are to continue that success.

Sessions will focus on development, higher education, sports and entertainment, and trails, roads and infrastructure. We’ve secured a great lineup of speakers like, Ian Nicolini from Pure Development, Joe McGinness from AveNew, Patrick Talty from Indiana Sports Corp, and Mike Miller from CEG just to name a few. Full speaker line-up and agenda can be viewed here.

CEUs are available for those attending the event.
