"I just wanted to send a note of appreciation for your city! I just attended the International Juggler's Fest a couple weeks ago. I have been attending these since the 1980s. Your city provided the best venue yet! Everything was close by, very clean, a nice mix of modern and historic, and wonderfully laid out... The staff at the convention center, hotels, theater and all the venues were not only courteous but friendly and helpful. My vote is for us to return to Fort Wayne again in the near future. Thank you for providing such a welcoming and interesting city!"

"Visit Fort Wayne was a tremendous help with making State Wars a great success. They were essential in helping me out for a city and site visit, and they helped put us in touch with the right people at local businesses who would benefit from the event."

"I was excited to host the national Inland Press Association board meeting in Fort Wayne this summer. But little did I realize how easy Visit Fort Wayne would make it for me. Tailored web pages, great logistic recommendations and organizational assistance for our out of town staff. Great city and a great team at Visit Fort Wayne!"

"Holding our annual business meeting in Fort Wayne was truly a delightful experience. Over the course of our weekend stay at the Courtyard by Marriott Downtown Fort Wayne, we attended a TinCaps baseball game, toured the stunning Allen County Courthouse and dined at Takaoka, among other downtown restaurants. I was so impressed with how clean and walkable everything was and I can't wait to bring our business back to the Fort Wayne area."

"I am pleased to report that Fort Wayne met more than our criteria. The staff at both downtown hotels and convention center leaned over backwards to make our event a success and the city of Fort Wayne is a great city with interesting things to do, safe streets, and great places to eat. These are very important aspects for a large out of town group. The Visit Fort Wayne folks were a pleasure to work with, too."
Gibby Gibson, National Site Selection of the National Fishing Lures Collectors Club
