Go Ottawa at National Main Street Now Conference
We are incredibly excited to be sharing our story about Go Ottawa, along with Yard & Co, at this years National Main Street Now Conference. From inspiring plenaries and immersive mobile workshops to engaging education sessions and interactive activities, the Main Street Now 2025 schedule features 100+ opportunities for local leaders to strengthen networks, gain new skills, and find solutions to issues impacting their communities. Meet new people and connect with colleagues from across the Main Street network and tap into the expertise of your peers, industry professionals, and supporters.
We will be presenting on Monday of the conference (session description below), and then will be spending the rest of the time learning from others around the country doing similar work in the communities they love.
Session Description: Strategies and action plans are great and necessary, but are you creating a movement of support for your program’s work? Learn how Ottawa, Ohio, created a movement in the community that feels bigger than its size of 5,000 people and helped its new Main Street program come out the gate strong. Along the way, Go Ottawa’s early supporters became not only its biggest champions but also a source of self-reliant redevelopment confidence that is transforming downtown Ottawa.
