Become a Sponsor
Event Overview
Date: February 20-21, 2027
Grow & Socialize was created to help entrepreneurs build meaningful connections, learn from one another, and grow alongside a supportive community.
What began as local networking events has evolved into a movement centered around collaboration, education, and authentic relationships.
The Grow & Socialize Summit brings that vision to life through a two-day experience designed to inspire action, foster connection, and help attendees confidently step into their next level.
This year's theme, ALL IN, reflects the commitment, confidence, and courage it takes to pursue growth in business and life.
Why We Exist
To create an entrepreneur-led, community-centered experience where people feel empowered to grow, connect, and confidently step into what’s next.
SUMMIT AT A GLANCE
February 20-21, 2027 at Fairfield, Fort Wayne, IN
Estimated attendance:
125 + 35 staff, volunteers, and vendors
WHO IS IN THE ROOM:
• Corporate leaders and decision-makers
• Marketing and sales professionals
• Creatives and service providers
• Nonprofit leaders and community advocates
• Aspiring entrepreneurs and emerging leaders
Why Partner with Grow & Socialize
The most effective business development isn't advertising. It's being in the right room.
The ALL IN Summit brings together 125 leaders from Fort Wayne's professional, entrepreneurial, and executive community decision-makers who are actively investing in growth, in their organizations, and in the people around them.
Reaching this audience through traditional channels like LinkedIn campaigns, sales outreach, event booths, print advertising, costs multiples of what sponsorship here costs. And it doesn't come with the credibility transfer of being a named partner in something they already trust.
Sponsorship is not a transaction. It is a strategic positioning decision.
Choose the level that matches your ambition.
