What does it take to successfully execute an event for thousands of attendees—with countless moving parts and little room for error?

Go behind the scenes with the MPI Indiana Chapter on October 26 at Hyatt Place/Hyatt House Downtown Indianapolis for an engaging panel discussion featuring leaders from some of Indiana’s most recognizable large-scale events and organizations.

Hear from experts representing the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, University of Notre Dame, and 500 Festival as they share the strategies, challenges, logistics, and lessons learned behind producing events at scale.

From coordinating thousands of attendees and multiple stakeholders to managing complex logistics and preparing for the unexpected, this candid conversation will explore what it really takes to turn ambitious event plans into successful experiences.

What You’ll Take Away:

  • Real-world insights from leaders behind some of Indiana’s largest and most recognizable events
  • Strategies for managing complex logistics, teams, vendors, and stakeholders
  • Lessons learned from challenges, unexpected changes, and high-pressure situations
  • Practical ideas you can apply to events of any size
  • A behind-the-scenes look at how large-scale event teams plan, adapt, and execute

Whether you manage an event for 100 people or 100,000, the challenges of communication, collaboration, logistics, and attendee experience remain surprisingly similar.

Join us to hear what works, what doesn't, and how experienced professionals adapt when even the best-laid plans change.
