Workshop: How to be a World Class Economic Developer

Economic development deals with similar issues, opportunities and challenges no matter which country or context you are operating in - issues including how to manage sustainable growth, the question of workforce development, smart business development and distinguishing your community from the crowd. Recognizing that there are lessons to be learned from abroad, IEDC is drawing on the strength of its international members to discuss what trends, opportunities and challenges they are seeing in the world of economic development. This facilitated discussion will be a frank conversation amongst all attendees about economic development as they see it. Price is free, but please register while sigining-up for the conference!
