This is not a conference. It's the day we activate your community — in-depth training for the people who make things happen here, with up to $6,250 coming back to your county in the 60 days that follow.
Every summit date is on the calendar below. Find the one closest to you and RSVP right inside the event. Seating is limited — 5–8 seats per county.
Six regions across Indiana
Same training, six locations. Every date lives on the calendar below — pick the one nearest you and RSVP inside the event.
One day. One region. Limitless possibilities.
Build lasting relationships across county lines.
Unlock resources, partnerships, and new possibilities.
Showcase what makes your community — and our region — stand out.
Multiply the value of what we already have — together.
The training
This isn't a preview day. It's an activation day. You come in with a community that most people only understand if they live there — and you leave with a community that's already being showcased.
Every module, top to bottom. How each one works, what it does for your community, and how simple it is to keep up once it's running. No mystery, no dependency on us to operate it.
Tell us how a module could serve your community better and we adapt it. That's not a courtesy line — it's how this platform has been built. You'll rarely hear anyone say "we'll build this to meet your needs" and mean it.
We activate while you're in the room. You don't leave with homework and good intentions — you leave with your community showing up, findable, and working.
Every organization you bring on sends $50 to your county's Community Development Fund — up to $6,250 in the 60 days after you attend.
The Community Development Fund
Your organizations run restaurant nights all the time — people buy a dinner they were going to eat anyway, and the group keeps a few dollars. Same idea here, with much better math on both ends.
Every business that joins gets five years of real exposure for less than a tank of gas a month. Your county gets money back for each one. Nobody's buying a favor, nobody's giving to a cause. Everyone in this comes out ahead.
$500 total. Five years. That's about $8 a month.
Four ways your county brings money home. They stack.
Ten organizations signed up before you leave the room. Paid that same day.
Every business that joins in your 60 days sends $50 home, up to $5,000.
One hundred local businesses elevated in one county. That milestone earns another $500.
Get the full platform live on four more websites in your county — city, town, library, school — and another $500 comes back.
This is not all or nothing.
The first organization pays. So does the fortieth.
25 join, that's $1,250 home. 60 join, that's $3,000.
Whatever your county reaches is what your county keeps.
When your county hits it, we show up with the oversized check, the photos, and the social posts — because a hundred businesses choosing to invest in their own community is worth telling people about. Where the money goes is your community's call. You'll watch it play out on your own streets.
$5,000 + $250 + $500 + $500 = $6,250 — no application, no match, no grant writing. Your 60 days start the day you're in the room.
Who should be in the room
We're looking for the ones who want everybody else to know what a great community this is. Who don't just want to preserve it — they want to see it grow.
Titles matter, but some of the strongest people in any town don't have one. The pastor who knows every family. The shop owner who sponsors the ball team. The retired teacher who still answers the phone when somebody needs help.
Those are the people we want in the room.
You are not being asked to become a salesperson. You're being asked to tell the organizations you already know about the best exposure deal they're ever likely to see — and let them decide.
seats held for each county. Bring a mix — not all from one organization, and not all from the courthouse. The counties that send a real cross-section get the most out of the day.
RSVP for your county on the calendar below.
The schedule
Doors at 8:30. We start on time and we finish on time. Lunch is served at the tables — the room stays together all day.
Times and order are subject to change as we tune the day for each region.
Everyone shares one thing they're proud of about their community, and one thing they can't fix alone. It's the most important twenty minutes of the morning — people stop being strangers.
Directory, events, jobs, plugins. You build it live, on your own phone or laptop, with help at your elbow. By 11:15 your organization is listed, your first event is posted, and your plugin is designed.
Lunch comes to the table, and the table has a job: who in your community needs to be on this and isn't yet? You leave with names, not notes.
What each role actually means, and how to talk about this with people you already know — in your own words, not a script you'd be embarrassed to read out loud.
The whole picture: what a business gets, what comes back to your county, and how the 60 days work. Straight numbers, no pressure.
Nobody goes home to follow up later. The room makes the calls together, right here, and every organization that joins gets called out by name. This is the part people talk about afterward.
Champions are named in front of the room and sign their pledge — Stand, Lead, Connect. Group photo. Then you leave with your 60-day clock running.
This is the starting line, not the finish
We come back to your region every six weeks with another tool that supports community engagement. Several are already built and underway; you'll see those on day one. But the counties in the room can reshuffle the deck — and bring ideas none of us have thought of yet. That's the point. This puts you in the driver's seat of your own community development.
Full-day training. Your county's foundation gets set.
Your community in your residents' pockets — events, business, jobs, alerts.
Get real information to your people fast, without depending on social media.
Put every business, destination, and asset your town has on one map worth sharing.
More is already built and coming. You'll see the roadmap on day one.
An idea from a county in the room can move to the front of this line.
