About this event
Get ready for 2025 GLD Spring Conference back at Manchester University in Fort Wayne! On Saturday, March 1, we’ll gather for a day filled with activities and specialty meetings to kick off the 2025 season! And yep, we're doing the fun Friday night Social on February 28, so put that on your calendar, too! The jam-packed schedule of presentations and activities is building and we'll add that PDF as soon as possible.
The day will again be hosted at Manchester University in northern Fort Wayne, Indiana, where the expanded building offers state-of-the-art conference rooms, large group meeting spaces, open spaces, and dining area. PS -- we're doing the Silent Auction again, so plan your donation and get ready to bid on the coveted items (Proceeds: 50% to Great Lakes Division, 50% to SCCA Foundation).
NOTE: If your region pays your registration fee and/or the ever-popular Friday night social, connect with your RE/Treasurer (many regions submit a group list of attendees, for example, others reimburse your registration fee). A paper form will be uploaded when everything is finalized, too.
Manchester University is located at 10627 Diebold Rd, Fort Wayne, IN 46845, just off I-69 (Exit #316; it offers a special “diverging diamond” experience). Numerous hotels and restaurants surround the facility. YES, we're setting up a Group Rate and that will be shared soon; in the meantime, click here for a list of all hotels at that exit: Hotels surrounding ManchesterUniv Fort Wayne.pdf
FRIDAY EVENING SOCIAL OPTION: The always fun Friday Evening Social will be coordinated and we'll carry in the amazing Italian pasta and salad from the renowned Casa d’Angelo restaurant, where locals wait more than an hour to dine on a Friday evening. We’ll also provide dessert treats and bottled water, too. BYOB other drink choices. The Social got RAVE Reviews last year -- try to join this year!
