The Indiana Green Expo runs February 8 to 10, 2027 at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis. The venue forecasts 2,000 attendees. The organiser publishes a trade show of 150 or more exhibitors.
Where the show sits
The 2026 trade show ran in Hall D. The organiser describes the show as a two-day trade show that gives lawn and landscape professionals access to vendors and the newest products and technology.
February 8, 2027 is a Monday and February 10 is a Wednesday. A Monday arrival with a Wednesday departure covers the nights of February 8 and February 9.
The headquarter hotel and the published cut-off
The organiser names one conference hotel. The Westin Indianapolis at 241 West Washington Street carries the headquarter designation, and the organiser states the hotel sits across the street from the Indiana Convention Center.
The hotel page carries a cut-off reading New cut off Date : January 23, 2026. That date belongs to the 2026 expo. The 2027 page lists February 8 to 10, 2027 and no other detail. No 2027 rate, no 2027 block and no 2027 cut-off appear on the organiser site.
An unpublished rate is an open position
The organiser has not set a 2027 number. The first figure on the table carries weight. Set the walk-away number before the organiser publishes a cut-off.
The nights around the block
The venue's own feed lists eight events in February 2027. The Indiana Safety and Health Conference and Expo runs February 7 to 10 with a forecast of 850, and it occupies the nights of February 7, 8 and 9. This expo occupies the nights of February 8 and 9, so the two events share both.
The Core-Mark Expo arrives February 10 with a forecast of 1,500 in Exhibit Hall J-K. The American Football Coaches Association convention runs February 14 to 16 with a forecast of 7,000. The WWETT Show runs February 22 to 25 with a forecast of 14,000.
The pair of February events totals 2,850 people against the 7,100 downtown rooms the venue publishes.
What to put in the ask
Anchor the rate first. Ask for the all-in nightly figure. Blocks publishes a worked example at a group rate of $189, with a 15 percent occupancy tax and a $25 nightly resort fee on a property it names Cascade Resort. The all-in figure is $242.35 a room night, about 28 percent above the headline rate. Confirm the local tax and fee load before you compare.
Ask for a comp ratio. Blocks states the common benchmark as one complimentary room night for every 40 picked-up room nights, with 1 per 35 or 1 per 30 available on larger blocks or shoulder nights. Comps are credited after the block checks out.
Ask for the attrition basis. Blocks states the floor as a minimum pickup percentage and prices any shortfall per night at the contract rate. Its worked example shows an 80 percent floor measured per night producing a $378 bill on a block that owes nothing under a cumulative measurement. Ask which basis governs before signature.
Plan for wash. Blocks defines the wash factor as the share of the block that never converts. A block sized above the floor absorbs that share.
Setting the walk-away number
No source in this assignment publishes a nightly rate for the 2027 expo. The number has to come from comparable downtown inventory.
hotelhaggle publishes its own terms. One request goes to 50 or more hotels in a destination. Hotels accept, counter or decline, and the brand publishes a 24 to 72 hour response window. The request is free to submit and carries no obligation to book.
hotelhaggle.org is the brand's RFP marketplace for group hotel bookings. Requests from residents of Florida, Hawaii, Iowa and Washington, or for travel to those states, do not go through. The same restriction applies on every hotelhuddle brand.
Submit one request. Compare every counter side by side. Hold the walk-away number, and put the 2027 rate on the record before the organiser publishes its cut-off.
