Ways We've Helped Events
EXPO AND TRADE SHOW SUCCESS STORIES
Visit Hendricks County has helped event organizers plan their events, expos and trade shows for years. To give you an idea of what we can do, we'd like to share some of our most recent success stories.
Geek Meet Indy
Hendricks County 4-H Fairgrounds and Conference Complex
Just want to thank everyone at the Visit Hendricks County team for their help with putting the show out there and getting more eyes on it. We doubled our attendance from the previous year. One thousand people attended this year's geek meet and it couldn't have happened without you and everyone's hard work. We will be returning next year.

Rubber Stamp Show
Hendricks County Fairgrounds 7 Conference Complex
It was one of the top three shows in the past 21 years! Thank you very much for all your advertising efforts. I look forward to working with you on all future shows.
- Steve Lindeman, Event Organizer, Rubber Stamp Show
Indiana Fishing Expo
Hendricks County 4-H Fairgrounds & Conference Complex
The show was a smashing success. The involvement of the local businesses and your awesome article and constant promotions went above and beyond. The building was packed for two days. We have been doing fishing and outdoor shows for 24 years and we have never had a reception to a community like the Hendricks County community. You should be proud, and we are honored to become a part of it. The date for 2024 is set and we are fast at work to improve on what we had. Your community has set the bar, and we hope we continue to meet that lofty expectation.
