Life In Indy

Talent retention is beautiful, chaotic, and meaningful. 😍 😫 😊 Our Indy Chamber/Life In Indy team has been prepping the last several months for Fast Forward Volume III, our annual gathering of summer interns, college students, and nextgen talent to get to know Indy and its opportunities a little better. Thanks to Lauren Kenny, Brooks Carey, Kate Pangallo, SHRM-CP, and Mady (Morgan) Riegler, we made it happen on July 9 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. We also couldn't have done this without support from the Lumina Foundation, Eli Lilly and Company, Pacers Sports & Entertainment, the Indianapolis Indians, and Indiana Sports Corp along with 20+ additional community partners. After garnering 935 registrations and roughly 600 attendees, 150 talented individuals let us know they wanted to connect one-on-one with a local Indyfluencer to discuss making Indy a more permanent home. The moral of this story? Holding kickass events is necessary/important but is just the first half of the equation. The followup is equally if not more important to building trust and positive outcomes if you want these talented individuals to become future neighbors.

Before elite athletes even have a chance to hit the water at Lucas Oil Stadium in Downtown Indianapolis for the USA Swimming Olympic Swimming Trials (a spectacle in its own right), they’ll be greeted by a massive monument to their Olympic journey—a 66-foot, 14,000-pound replica of the Eiffel Tower.

When there’s only one degree of separation between Indy and Marvel Entertainment Comics, you know Indy is an amazing place full of driven individuals.

Today is HERstory in the making.🏀 With the #1 pick in the 2024 WNBA (Women's National Basketball Association) Draft, the Indiana Fever selected one of the most decorated college players to ever play the game: Caitlin Clark. Paired with Aliyah Boston and a talented roster of premiere athletes, Clark could not only usher in a perennial championship contender of a team, but accelerate an already seismic shift in the landscape of women's basketball. Indy is the proving ground. And Clark is proving time and time again that she's ready for the challenge. Today is for celebrating, Indy. Tomorrow the work begins. https://lnkd.in/gmaYGMby #lifeinindy #wnba #herstory
