WGI World Championships
WGI Sport of the Arts will continue to hold its World Championship events in greater Dayton and Southwest Ohio through 2031! This is a major win for the area, as the World Championships bring approximately 60,000 people and an estimated direct spending economic impact of more than $18 million to the region. Thank you to WGI, which is headquartered in Miamisburg, for its continued commitment to the region!
