Reigning PCMA Pickleball Champ/Visit Indy Chief Leonard Hoops Shares What’s New in Indianapolis
Visit Indy’s president and CEO made his debut as the new Chair of PCMA’s 2024 Board of Directors and Trustees known by vanquishing the association’s president and CEO, Sherrif Karamat, on the pickleball court at Convening Leaders (CL).
Thus sanctified, Hoops later sat down with Meetings Today’s Tyler Davidson to discuss the record-setting attendance and other happenings at CL—including the epic pickleball showdown—as well as the many exciting new developments happening in Indy.
Big Indianapolis meetings and hospitality news includes a new 800-room Signia by Hilton Indianapolis hotel; an expansion of the Indiana Convention Center and the new Eleven Park development right in the heart of the convention district; and why so many high-profile events—both traditional and extra-terrestrial—are choosing the capital of the Hoosier State for their gatherings.
