What the Two Days Are
The Core-Mark Expo runs Wednesday 10 and Thursday 11 February 2027 at the Indiana Convention Center, 100 South Capitol Ave, Indianapolis. The show takes Exhibit Hall J-K. The venue forecasts 1,500 attendees.
Both show days fall midweek. A Tuesday arrival puts you in the hotel before the Wednesday morning traffic, and the Thursday close leaves Friday clear.
The Skywalk Route
Downtown Indianapolis holds 7,100 hotel rooms. The venue counts 4,700 of them as connected to the convention centre by skywalk. Ask your hotel whether it sits on the connected route before you book.
The venue publishes a skywalk map as a PDF on its skywalk page. The map key separates convention facilities, hotels, skywalk links, underground routes and attractions.
Visit Indy lists the connected hotels: JW Marriott Indianapolis, Signia Hilton Indianapolis, Indy Marriott, The Westin Indianapolis, Hyatt Regency Indianapolis, Embassy Suites Indianapolis Downtown, Crowne Plaza Indianapolis Downtown Union Station, Conrad Indianapolis, Courtyard with SpringHill Suites and Fairfield Inn & Suites, and Le Méridien Indianapolis.
The Skywalk Clock
The convention centre publishes the closing and opening times of its facility and skywalks as event-dependent. The stated rule of thumb is a lockdown near 11:00 p.m. and a reopening near 6:00 a.m.
Plan the walk back from dinner against that clock and confirm the times with the venue for these show days.
Day One, Wednesday 10 February
The two halls give 75,100 square feet of floor. Two other conventions close their runs that day: the Indiana Health and Safety Conference & Expo at a published forecast of 850, and the Indiana Green Expo at 2,000. Core-Mark opens at 1,500 on the same day.
Lunch downtown carries two departure groups and the Core-Mark crowd together. Book a table or eat early.
Where to Eat
The venue counts 200 restaurants within walking distance of the centre. It points readers to the Visit Indy restaurant list for maps, directions and reviews.
Day Two, Thursday 11 February
Thursday is the second show day. The venue's February record carries the Core-Mark second day alone, and the next entry at the centre is the Economic Club of Indiana luncheon on Friday 12 February.
Getting In and Out
The transfer to Indianapolis International Airport runs 15 minutes on the venue's own line.
The show floor carries one published rule: no one under the age of 21, on FDA and tobacco regulation grounds. Registration runs through the organiser's regional expo form at tradeshoweasy.com, reached from the Events item on core-mark.com.
