Centergy Showcases Central Wisconsin at Record-Breaking 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay

Green Bay, WI | April 25–27, 2025 — As Green Bay welcomed over 600,000 visitors and captured the national spotlight during one of the most attended NFL Drafts in history, Centergy was proud to be on the ground representing the heart of the state—Central Wisconsin.

More than a celebration of football, the 2025 NFL Draft became a platform for economic collaboration and strategic networking. Centergy joined forces with regional partners including New North, Inc., 7 Rivers Alliance, Momentum West Wisconsin, EUA, Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC), Madison Region Economic Partnership, and Milwaukee 7 (M7) to host the Draft Day Huddle – Site Selector Showcase. This coordinated effort invited national site selectors and economic influencers to experience firsthand what makes Wisconsin a top-tier destination for investment and development.

“Attending the NFL Draft was more than just being part of a major sporting event—it was a strategic opportunity to showcase Central Wisconsin’s strengths on a national stage,” said Centergy President & CEO. “Through the Draft Day Huddle – Site Selector Showcase, we collaborated with state and regional partners to highlight why Wisconsin is a smart investment destination. Together, we’re putting Wisconsin’s best forward and driving opportunity home.”

Throughout the event, the Centergy team engaged in key conversations designed to plant seeds for long-term business development. Events like the NFL Draft not only energize our communities—they create space for meaningful dialogue about Wisconsin’s potential as a hub for growth, innovation, and investment.

From robust infrastructure to welcoming communities, our state has much to offer. And with partners united under a shared vision, our collective message was clear: Wisconsin is open for business.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to the City of Green Bay, the Green Bay Packers, and all who played a role in making the 2025 NFL Draft an unforgettable event—and a powerful platform for economic development.
