Frequently asked questions

Which cities in Indiana have the most hotels suited to large conferences?

Indianapolis and Fort Wayne tend to offer the most inventory for planners hosting a large meeting. Indianapolis, as the state capital, has several properties with extensive event space and guest-room counts, including The Westin Indianapolis with 575 rooms and a Grand Ballroom running about 16,000 square feet. Fort Wayne is home to the Hilton Fort Wayne at the Grand Wayne Convention Center, whose Convention Hall spans about 49,000 square feet and accommodates up to 4,000 people.

What should I look for when choosing a hotel for a big corporate event?

Focus on three things: the size of the largest event space, the total number of meeting rooms, and the guest-room count. A hotel with a large ballroom or hall gives you flexibility for general sessions, and multiple breakout spaces let you run concurrent workshops or meetings. Enough guest rooms on-site means attendees can stay where the event takes place, cutting down on logistics and travel time between sessions.

How far ahead should I book rooms for a conference in Indiana?

For a multi-day event or a booking during peak season, aim for six to twelve months in advance. Large meetings often compete for the same dates, especially in Indianapolis, so early planning helps secure availability. If your event falls during a slower period or you need only a handful of rooms, a shorter lead time may work, but starting early always gives you more options.

How do I book a block of guest rooms for conference attendees through Engine?

If you need nine or more guest rooms, Engine Groups handles the room-block booking for you. For eight rooms or fewer, you can book self-serve through the platform. For the meeting or event space itself, planners can find and request a venue through Engine Spaces, Engine's meeting-and-event product that connects you to over 40,000 venues.

How does billing work when I book a large conference stay?

Engine offers consolidated invoicing, so you receive a single bill for the entire booking instead of tracking individual receipts. You also have multiple payment options and there's no membership fee to use the platform. This setup simplifies expense reporting and keeps your accounting team happy when the event wraps up.
