FAQs
Q1: Who should attend?
If you live, work, or care about Dutchtown, this Summit is for you. Whether you're a longtime neighbor or just getting involved, come be part of the conversation and the change.
Q2: Do I need to register?
It’s free to attend, but registering helps us plan better—and gets you entered into the prize drawings!
Q3: Is it free?
Yes! The Summit is totally free—just bring yourself, your ideas, and maybe a friend or two.
Q4: Can I bring my kids?
The Summit is designed for adults to dive into neighborhood safety and planning, so there won’t be kid-focused activities—but we totally understand if little ones need to tag along.
Q5: Parking and Accessibility
There’s a small parking lot behind the building off Compton, plus street parking nearby. The venue is wheelchair accessible, and if you have any specific needs, just let us know—we want everyone to feel welcome and comfortable.
