THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN ATTENDING CONEXIÓN: 5 FOR 500. THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT AND WALK-INS CANNOT BE ACCOMMODATED—WE HOPE TO SEE YOU NEXT YEAR!

Ladies and gentlemen, start your engines!

Each year, the Indy Chamber’s Hispanic Business Council gathers corporate and civic leaders from across the Indianapolis region to recognize five individuals paving the way for Hispanic progress in our community at Conexión: 5 for 500. Recipients are nominated by their peers and recognized in one of five categories: Advocacy, Leadership, Small Business Impact, Trailblazer, and Vision.

As advocates, visionaries, trailblazers, and business leaders, these individuals create a more vibrant and welcoming community where residents from all backgrounds can thrive and contribute to the region's success.

In addition to the awards presentation, we are thrilled to welcome Barbara Bessolo, founder and CEO of DynamoEdge, as a guest speaker to discuss the role of artificial intelligence and innovation in the motorsports industry and how it will transform the future of racing.

Tickets are now on sale.

Join us at the famed Indianapolis Motor Speedway for an experience unlike any other. We will celebrate these Hispanic community leaders, and hear from local officials and motorsports professionals—including IMS president, Doug Boles, and Mexican motorsports racing driver, Pato O'Ward—and enjoy an afternoon at the Brickyard. After lunch, block your afternoon calendar for exclusive access to the first day of practice for the Indy 500, including complimentary garage passes.

Your ticket includes:

• Lunch Presentation
• Networking
• Access to the IMS Garages (with a signed waiver)

This event requires physical tickets—to allocate the proper time needed to mail your physical tickets to you, please secure your ticket by midnight on Sunday, April 28.
