THIS COURSE IS HELD IN CONJUNCTION WITH IEDC'S 2009 ANNUAL CONFERENCE.

With the economy in a state of depression, major employers are downsizing, factories are closing, unemployment is on the rise and retailers are struggling to survive. Economic developers are battling in the trenches against strong approaching forces.

How are communities equipping themselves to navigate the minefields ahead? What ammunition does your community need to win the battle and create a path towards recovery?

Serious times call for a serious conference and IEDC's 2009 Annual Conference is the single most important conference to attend during this global economic crisis. It will be an unprecedented experience with highly relevant sessions and top speakers tackling the tough issues economic developers are facing now.
