RALLY announced the host committee members for the cross-sector innovation conference, which will return to Indianapolis at the Indiana Convention Center on Sept. 24-25. 

This will be the third year for the annual event, which was created to connect innovative doers and thinkers, entrepreneurs, investors, universities and individuals globally to foster transformative connections across cross-sector industries, with a focus on agriculture and food, sports tech, software, health care and hard tech. 

The host committee comprises an executive committee, co-chairs, vice chairs, division directors, subcommittee members, and staff. 

Host co-chairs include Vanessa Sinders (President and CEO of the Indiana Chamber), Dave Neff (President and CEO of the Boilermaker Alliance) and Seth Morales (CEO of The Morales Group). 

ā€œI believe in what RALLY is doing to inspire and foster these intentional collisions on a global scale with Indiana as the backdrop, ā€œsaid Dave Neff, President and CEO of the Boilermaker Alliance. ā€œAs a state, we must continue to stay on offense to build the future we all desire. RALLY is a catalyst in these critical efforts.ā€

The Operations Division Director is Erica Schweyer (Chief of Staff at Elevate Ventures) and the Engagement Division Director is Muhammad Yasin (VP of Marketing at Elevate Ventures).Ā 

ā€œWe are excited to launch the first  Rally Host Committee. One of the reasons Indiana is considered the best place to host an event is due to the Host Committee concept perfected by the Indiana Sports Corp over the last 25 years.ā€ said Christopher Day, CEO of Elevate Ventures and RALLY Visionary. ā€œThe magic of RALLY is bringing global cross-sector disparate stakeholders together in the same place at the same time. The Host Committee is composed of incredible leaders representing exactly that.ā€
