The Indiana Alpaca Association invites you to the Second Annual Indiana Alpaca Expo! The expo is designed as a full day of learning and networking with alpaca breeders and vendors from Indiana and surrounding states. We warmly welcome out-of-state attendees.

Our keynote speaker is Mr. Nick Hahn, new CEO of Alpaca United. Mr. Hahn will be discussing the corporation’s initiatives which will help “brand” alpaca fiber similarly to how he helped brand Cotton: the Fabric of our Lives when he was CEO of Cotton, Inc. Everyone that raises alpacas will benefit from Nick’s insight and experience in the fiber industry.
