Library Congratulates Visit Fort Wayne on Tourism Award for Jewish Genealogy Conference Partnership<\/strong><\/p>\n

Fort Wayne, Indiana (April 18, 2026) \u2013 The Allen County Public Library (ACPL) proudly congratulates Visit Fort Wayne on receiving the Indiana Tourism Association\u2019s (ITA) Best Meeting\/Group Partnership Award for its work bringing the International Jewish Genealogical Society\u2019s Annual Conference to Fort Wayne. The conference held August 10\u201314, 2025, brought together genealogists, researchers, and families from across the globe for educational sessions, networking, and access to ACPL\u2019s unparalleled collections.<\/p>\n

The award recognizes the successful collaboration that helped secure and host the 2025 conference, which welcomed hundreds of attendees from around the world to explore family history and genealogy. The event was held in partnership with the International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies and showcased Fort Wayne as a premier destination for family history research and conferences.<\/p>\n

A key factor in attracting the conference was the ACPL\u2019s renowned Genealogy Center, one of the largest publicly available genealogy collections in the world. The Center\u2019s global reputation and extensive resources played a central role in positioning Fort Wayne as an ideal host city for the international event.<\/p>\n

\u201cVisit Fort Wayne\u2019s experienced leadership and partnership were instrumental in bringing this prestigious conference to our community,\u201d said ACPL Director of Special Collections Curt Witcher. \u201cThis recognition reflects not only their trademark outstanding work, but also the power of collaboration in showcasing Fort Wayne\u2014and the Genealogy Center\u2014as a world-class destination for research, discovery, and connection.\u201d<\/p>\n

Visit Fort Wayne was repeatedly praised by conference organizers for their collaboration. According to event organizer, Irv Adler, the Visit Fort Wayne team gave excellent service throughout the planning process: \u201cI can\u2019t say enough good things about VFW and their staff. You couldn\u2019t ask for better support.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Witcher, conference participants were impressed by not only the organization of the event, but by the collaboration between the Genealogy Center, Visit Fort Wayne, and the Grand Wayne Convention Center.<\/p>\n

\u201cPartnerships like this demonstrate what\u2019s possible when organizations come together around a shared vision,\u201d continued Witcher. \u201cVisit Fort Wayne, the Grand Wayne Convention Center and our downtown hotels represent the trifecta of an excellent visitor experience. We are so proud to work alongside these partners to highlight the unique assets of our community and to welcome visitors from around the world. They\u2019re seeing that Fort Wayne provides the perfect mix of affordability, tourist amenities, ease of access, and world-class experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n

In all, the IAJGS conference produced an estimated $621,000 in economic impact. The ACPL looks forward to continued collaboration with Visit Fort Wayne to support their award-winning efforts to grow the impact of tourism and meetings in Northeast Indiana\u2014driving economic activity while elevating the region\u2019s national and international profile.<\/p>\n
