Hospitality Roundtable

Scott Blalock, VP & GM, JW Marriott

It was nice to have the opportunity to visit with other hospitality and tourism professionals at our dinner on June 15.  The passion we all share for hosting visitors is unmatched by any city in the country.  In fact, I often hear meeting planners from large conventions say “we had no idea that Indianapolis has so much to offer.”  They are amazed by our restaurants, hotels and venues.  Time and again, the one thing they are most impressed with is the genuine hospitality our city offers.  Our Hoosier hospitality really makes the difference. 

I’ve been to many customer events across the country recently and I tell you there is a buzz in the convention and meetings industry about Indianapolis.  There are a lot of people across the country who are now helping tell our story.
