INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — Hundreds of young professionals and interns from across the region shared their culture and opportunities on Monday.

Indy Chamber, in collaboration with several downtown Indy partners including IndyHub, hosted a Fast Forward event on Monday to highlight why Indianapolis is a top-tier destination to call home.

The goal was to show young professionals and interns what their futures in the city could look like.

Al Carroll, the president and CEO of IndyHub, told News 8, “At IndyHub, we believe people make the city. So, I’m most excited to be in here to be part of the connections that people are making, and learning more about all the great offerings we have here in Indianapolis as a community.”

The event was at The Amp at 16 Tech, a marketplace in a tech district along on Waterway Boulevard. That’s downtown, just south of the intersection of West 16th Street and Indiana Avenue.

IndyHub says it hopes to collaborate on more events with city organizations to inspire young people.
