Loving Local

When planning an event in Indianapolis, who you work with matters just as much as what you plan. At Accent Indy, we believe loving local isn’t a trend…it’s our responsibility. Choosing a local, independently-owned, and operated Destination Management Company (DMC) means you are tapping into deep expertise, authentic relationships, and a team that truly understands the nuances of the city.

Indianapolis isn’t just where we plan events, it’s where we live, celebrate, and connect. Our event team are local and emersed in knowing all things Indy inside and out. From those ever-changing traffic patterns to hidden gems that don’t show up on the usual internet search, our team brings insight that only comes from our ongoing local expertise.

We stay current with active community involvement. Our team sits on local boards, like Visit Indy and ILEA and participates in local committees like Final Four and ASAE. We work closely with community leaders, and stay plugged into what’s new, what’s next, and what’s worth the buzz.

Respected relationships are one of our biggest assets. After decades in the Indianapolis market, we’ve built trust with our vendors, hoteliers, and community leaders across the city. These relationships allow us to move faster, solve problems smarter, and unlock opportunities that others don’t have the same access to at their fingertips.

We prefer to use local vendors as often as we can. We actively seek out local partners in catering, entertainment, production, and décor who deliver exceptional quality while respecting budgets. Using these vendors strengthens our community and results in memorable and seamless experiences for our clients and their attendees.

Accent Indy has been part of the Indianapolis fabric since 1989, and under our current leadership since 2007. That longevity isn’t accidental. It’s a legacy built on trust, consistency, and genuine love for our city. We’ve grown alongside Indianapolis, adapting as the city evolves while never losing sight of what makes it special…that Hoosier Hospitality. It’s service from the heart and what makes up our DNA at Accent Indy.

Because this is our home, we’re always on the hunt for the next great thing. From seeking out new experiences to enhancing something tried and true and taking it to the next level, we are constantly curating fresh concepts to surprise and engage attendees. We don’t wait for trends to arrive here; we help shape them.

When you choose a local DMC, like Accent Indy, you’re not just hiring an event partner. You’re investing in a team that is deeply ingrained in the community and fully committed to showcasing Indianapolis at its very best.

At Accent Indy, our knowledge is our product, and our product is authentically local. And that my friends, makes all the difference.
