Throughout the year, MKM shuts down its Fort Wayne location to host a public event, affectionately called the Fishbowl. “This is a time when we invite a thought-provoking individual to share about their career, work, community, or big ideas they are working through,” said Zachary Benedict, AIA, LEED AP, President, MKM. “The intent is to provide an intimate venue to talk, share, and learn about innovations in community health and well-being.” Past Fishbowl discussions have ranged from artificial intelligence to social justice.
