Connect Fort Wayne is hosting its fifth annual ideas conference on May 16, 2015 at the Parkview Mirro Family Research Center. The event will focus on ideas in four main categories: community, education, commerce, and wellness. Specifically, they will feature both local and national speakers discussing ideas that impact Northeast Indiana. In addition to talks, the event aims to create opportunities for people to connect, build on the ideas presented, and potentially experience new activities through engagement stations.

At Connect Fort Wayne, great talks are just the start. Somewhere along the
way, we realized the ideas, as important as they are, were only part of what
we were doing. As we start the fifth year of our journey, we’re giving these
ideas a larger voice, and creating opportunities for forward-leaning
individuals to connect and build on these ideas.

partner.

PARTNERSHIPS:
Going beyond sponsorships is critical to our success. We identify unique
ways to engage the charged (and often skeptical) minds of our regional
audience, giving you, our partner, the best chance to expose them to your
great idea.
