INDIANAPOLIS —Indiana depends on Indianapolis to succeed. However, Indianapolis depends on Indiana as well. How can we leverage the strengths of both? Indiana Humanities will explore these issues by asking Hoosiers to discuss why Indianapolis needs Indiana and why Indiana needs Indianapolis, both online and at the Indiana State Fair.
When: Thursday, Aug. 11, 9 a.m. – 9 p.m.
Where: State Fair Boulevard, Indiana State Fairgrounds, 1202 E. 38th Street. Also, on Twitter (@INHumanities, #IndyTalks) or Facebook (Indiana Humanities). Visit the Think.Read.Talk. blog at www.indianahumanities.org to stay in the conversation.
“Indiana’s strength and identity is shaped by all Hoosiers across the state,” said Keira Amstutz. “We want to engage Hoosiers in a discussion exploring the vital relationship between Indiana and Indianapolis.”
Responses to the question of why Indianapolis needs Indiana and why Indiana needs Indianapolis have been collected from a number of city and state leaders, including Allison Melangton, president and CEO of the 2012 Indianapolis Super Bowl Host Committee; Leonard Hoops, president and CEO Indianapolis Convention & Visitors Association, Indianapolis; and Carl Chapman, president and CEO of Vectren Corporation. You can read their responses, and those we collect throughout the day, by visiting http://www.indianahumanities.org/thinkreadtalk/index.php/2011/08/responses-collected-why-indianapolis-needs-indiana/
