Impact Ohio began in 1984 with the first Post-Election Conference held in Columbus, Ohio. Every even numbered year since, Impact Ohio has held a Post-Election Conference and every year the attendance has grown.
Over the years, Post-Election Conference has become a staple on Cap Square. Leaders, professionals, and experts in their fields greet and gather at the conference to explore elections, the outcomes of the political process, and policy choices facing Ohio and its communities.

 | “Each conference we hear how much value our attendees gain from hearing from our expert panelists and having the ability to network with other attendees. Because of this and the conference growth we had the desire to share Impact Ohio with other communities. “ |
In 2016, Dan McCarthy and Jennifer Flatter decided to make Impact Ohio its own business, which Flatter currently runs as Chief Executive Officer. This is the first year they’ve decided to expand the conference and take Impact Ohio to four different communities throughout the state.
The first regional conference will be held in Toledo, Friday, September 15 at the Renaissance Toledo Downtown Hotel. Impact Ohio made this decision because they know how important Toledo and NW Ohio are to policy making and politics at the state level. Hosted through a partnership with the Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce, local business leaders and elected officials will moderate and sit on panels throughout the conference. A much anticipated panel moderated by Jerry Anderson, WTOL-Channel 11 is titled “A Conversation with Toledo’s Mayoral Candidates.” The two top vote getters in the primary on September 12th will be asked to sit on this panel. Additional topics include “Emerging Smart Cities: Opportunities for the Region”, “Political Insight: The State of the Parties in Lucas County”, and “Observations from the Fourth Estate in the Age of 'Fake News' .”
Impact Ohio contributes financially to Ohio YMCA Youth & Government lieu of giving gifts to speakers.
