Easy Access: Grand Wayne Convention Center

Easy Access: Grand Wayne Convention Center
By Visit Fort Wayne

Located across the street from Grand Wayne Convention Center sits the Allen County Public Library, which are the two featured venues that will host the 2013 Federation of Genealogical Societies Conference in Fort Wayne.

Several meeting groups that have used both facilities simultaneously rave about the proximity and easy access between the buildings, and for good reason. Other than enjoying a nice walk in charming downtown Fort Wayne, conference-goers can attend every workshop or meeting within minutes of one another without the hassle of driving or travelling long distances between locations. As a result, meeting planners can maximize their conference with more events and activities, too.

Meeting groups also note that buildings proximity helps attendees with walking disabilities. Conferences with multiple venues can make it extremely difficult for ones with walking concerns, making it a challenge to attend every activity. This will not be a concern in Fort Wayne, as smooth sidewalks and numerous walking ramps will give every FGS participant the ability to partake in every planned activity.

Lastly, unknown weather concerns can cause headaches for conference goers, especially moving between multiple venues. With the exit door of the Grand Wayne Convention Center and entrance of the Allen County Public Library less than 300 yards from one another, even a monsoon would keep any conference attendee dry. That may be a slight exaggeration, but potential weather concerns will not damp the FGS Conference.

The 2013 Federation of Genealogical Societies Conference will be an outstanding and exciting experience, and luckily for attendees, not much walking will be required! For more information, go to www.VisitFortWayne.com/fgs.
