The International Economic Development Council (IEDC) is a non-profit membership organization dedicated to helping economic developers do their job more effectively and raising the profile of the profession. When we succeed, our members create more high-quality jobs, develop more vibrant communities, and generally improve the quality of life in their regions.

With so many opportunities for economic development training and networking around the country, you are bound to find an event near you – or join us for a web seminar accessible from your own office! If you need a change of scenery, find a course or conference in a different city and expand your horizons.
