Summer in the City: Intern networking event 

In July, we had an incredible turnout for our inaugural Summer in the City intern networking event! We had 80 college students representing 44 cities across 13 states and 31 colleges!

We set out to connect the next generation of talent with the vibrant community and leadership of Fort Worth, and the energy in the room did not disappoint.

A massive thank you to our phenomenal guest speakers for taking the time to share their wisdom, career insights, and passion for our city with the interns:
Steve Montgomery, President and CEO of the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce
Dr. Mia Hall, Fort Worth City Councilmember, District 6
Ashleigh McDonald, Founder of Funkytown America

We also want to extend our deepest gratitude to the incredible organizations whose support made this inaugural event possible:
Visit Fort Worth
Fort Worth EDP
Downtown Fort Worth, Inc.
The Real Estate Council of Greater Fort Worth
Workforce Solutions for Tarrant County

Thank you for your shared vision and commitment to fostering and retaining our region’s future talent.

Finally, a huge shoutout to the fantastic team and staff at Bowlounge Fort Worth! Thank you for hosting us, providing an outstanding atmosphere, and keeping the energy high all afternoon.

We can’t wait for Summer in the City 2027 with even more exciting events!
