E V E N T AT T E N D E E R ES P O N S ESThis was my first time coming to this event, and I actually left feeling really good about Fort Wayne. Everyone in the city should experience the presentation. And the GFW Inc. staff (and I do mean everyone from GFW) is so talented and nice. I’m proud to have them representing this city.

I was very impressed with the overall organization of the event and it was helpful that all the Greater Fort Wayne representatives had orange shirts on so you could tell who they were.

All around, a great time to see friends and grow in excitement over what is happening in our community.

I really enjoyed how everyone was open to meeting you, and introducing themselves. This was my very first networking event.The experience was for sure one for the books.

Great content to share with investors and first-class venuewith great audio-visual!
