My City Summit 2020 - RESCHEDULED

Our community is seeing unprecedented momentum, growth and excitement. People are returning to the region, setting roots and taking part in what makes Fort Wayne great. Although, momentum takes constant effort to maintain and build. Emerging leaders are taking actions to build off the successes we’ve had. It is through events like the YLNI’s My City Summit where new ideas are created, initiatives are formed and innovation takes off. Join us as we continue to BUILD The Fort!
