Three Days in Indianapolis for the Henry Schein Sales Meeting

Henry Schein's National Sales Meeting holds Exhibit Hall A-B at the Indiana Convention Center from 2 to 4 February 2027 with a forecast 2,000 attendees. The venue publishes no agenda, no doors time and no room block. This itinerary runs on the dates, the building and the district: the skywalk route from the connected hotels, dining within walking distance and the measured run to the airport.

The window and the missing grid

Henry Schein's National Sales Meeting runs Tuesday, February 2 to Thursday, February 4, 2027, at the Indiana Convention Center, 100 South Capitol Ave, Indianapolis. The room assignment is Exhibit Hall A-B. Forecast attendance is 2,000.

Those four facts are the venue's own. The event page publishes no doors time, no session grid and no room set beyond the hall pair. Its link labelled Visit Event Website resolves to henryscheinevents.com, the Henry Schein trade show hub. That hub returns no match for the meeting's name and no match for Indianapolis. Its listings cover DS World 2026, AAOMS, AAP, Greater New York and THRIVELIVE 2027.

No registration system, room block, rate or session time for this meeting is reachable from either page. The itinerary below runs on the dates, the building and the district.

Under cover from the hotel

The Convention Center footer counts 7,100 downtown hotel rooms and 4,700 connected to the building via skywalks. The venue's attendee hotels page states that more than half of those rooms sit within blocks of the Center and Lucas Oil Stadium.

Visit Indy's connected-hotels page states 12 hotels and 5,200 rooms are connected. The page numbers twelve properties and publishes a room count for each; those counts sum to 5,133 rooms, and one line covers three Marriott-brand hotels at 621 rooms combined. The Center's own Skywalk Connections PDF draws the whole network.

The skywalk keeps venue hours. The Center's skywalks page states the opening and closing times are event-dependent, with a rule of thumb of a lockdown near 11 p.m. and a reopening near 6 a.m.

Two listed properties name their own connections. The Hyatt Regency Indianapolis, 499 rooms, connects directly to the Convention Center and to Circle Centre mall. The Signia by Hilton Indianapolis lists a climate-controlled skywalk to the Center's south campus and Lucas Oil Stadium.

The connected package covers the district. The JW Marriott Indianapolis lists 1,005 rooms and 104,482 square feet of meeting space. The Westin Indianapolis lists 575 rooms and 42,500 square feet. The Indianapolis Marriott lists 650 rooms and 42,000 square feet. The Embassy Suites Indianapolis Downtown lists 360 rooms, the Crowne Plaza Indianapolis Downtown Union Station 273, and the Conrad Indianapolis 247.

Dining inside the walk

The venue footer counts 200 downtown restaurants within walking distance. The Center's dining guide states more than 200 restaurants downtown alone and points to Visit Indy's restaurant index. Visit Indy's restaurants page carries Conde Nast Traveler's naming of Indy as the most underrated food city in America.

Street walking runs longer than those straight lines. Visit Indy's group dining guide gives the room terms. Buca di Beppo offers semi-private areas. Weber Grill has private dining spaces. Shapiro's seats groups in a private room. The Rathskeller keeps an outdoor biergarten.

The airport run

The venue footer states 15 MINUTES to Indianapolis International Airport. The venue publishes no driving directions from the airport.

A routing measurement run on 24 September 2026 on the OpenStreetMap driving profile from 100 South Capitol Ave to the airport passenger terminal returns 21.2 km (13.19 mi) and 21.8 minutes at free flow. The straight-line distance between the two points is 12.65 km (7.9 mi). The venue's footer line and the measured drive each stand with their source.

The airport's ground transportation centre sits on the first floor of the Terminal Garage. It connects to bus service, car rental, taxi, Uber and Lyft, hotel courtesy vehicles and limousines. Curb taxi service waits outside baggage claim.

Getting around downtown

The Maryland Street canopy is the Center's recommended taxi pickup and drop-off point. Access can be restricted during events. IndyGo runs the city bus service, and its call centre number is (317) 635-3344.
