Our Theme: Entrepreneurship and Diversity

These qualities add to the local flavor, create a true reflection of a community, contribute to an authentic identity and exciting business mix – all essential motivations that bring customers, tourists, new residents, and cool businesses to your district.

Main Street diversity has many dimensions: age, socioeconomic backgrounds, culture, business type, architecture, lifestyles, and ethnicities. Embracing diversity brings multiple perspectives and a wider range of talent to your organization and your community. The 2008 conference will focus on creating new opportunities and building stronger Main Street programs and districts through leveraging entrepreneurs and diversity.

People from small and rural towns, suburban communities, large and midsized cities, and urban neighborhood business districts can all benefit from ideas, solutions, issue discussion, and networking opportunities that only we offer.

Four full days of educational sessions and networking opportunities; Day-long Main Street Four-Point Approach™ training; Tours to learn from revitalization successes in our host city and surrounding Main Street Districts; Expo Hall filled with product and service providers specializing in commercial district revitalization; and Opportunities to network with colleagues who are experiencing similar challenges in their communities.
