It’s typically held the first week in July and moves around the country from year to year. The largest gathering of Mensans anywhere, the American AG started as a small, two-day meet-and-greet in New York City in 1963. The event now spans five days and features a sprawl of talks, games, and entertainment unlike any other. Click here<\/a> for information about the 2026 AG in Ft. Worth, TX from July 1 – 5.<\/p>\n The AG was held in Indianapolis for the first time from July 4-8, 2018. Our group hosted the event; Teresa Gregory and Jan Pfeil Doyle were co-chairs. Indianapolis native astronaut Dr. David A. Wolf was the speaker at the gala banquet. Over 1700 people attended the event that was held at the JW Marriott in downtown Indianapolis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Central Indiana Mensa typically has two major events every year: our Regional Gathering\u00a0in late January or early February and our Outdoor Gathering in May.
