Exhibits & Sponsorship at Annual Convention

The Indiana Bankers Association extends to you a cordial invitation to be a part of our Annual Convention and Trade Show to be held at the French Lick Resort September 13-15, 2026. As a bank service provider, you are aware of the importance of forming lasting relationships and establishing close ties to Indiana’s key decision makers. No other trade show offers you as much exposure for your investment as we are expecting more than 400 bank CEOs, bank executives and Indiana bank supporters to attend.

Make the most of this rare opportunity to make one-on-one contacts with many of the top banking executives from around the state. The convention agenda suspends all other activities during scheduled events in the exhibit hall providing you with the bankers’ undivided attention. Additionally, there are many opportunities for sponsorship that serve to further spread your company’s name and product awareness to bankers attending from throughout the state.

Contact Melissa Higdon with questions.
