About the Conference

Join the International Association of Jewish Genealogical Societies (IAJGS) and the Northeast Indiana Jewish Genealogy Society August 10-14, 2025 in Fort Wayne, Indiana, for an exceptional and unique Conference experience.

Why Fort Wayne?

In prior years, the conference was held in costlier, big cities, such as London, New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia. This is the first conference to be held in a more affordable, yet dynamic, smaller city. Fort Wayne is known for its exceptional genealogical capability through the Allen County Public Library Genealogy Center, and national recognition of the host venue, the Grand Wayne Convention Center. Fort Wayne is among the fastest-growing cities in the Midwest, with major recent development in its downtown area, including The Landing, Electric Works, and riverfront activities. And Parkview Field, rated no.1 in all of minor league baseball, is right across the street!
