The time to transform the foundations of our profession is here; this new world requires it of us. Our future growth, prosperity and economic resiliency depend not only on the old bridges we repair, but more importantly on those new bridges we build.

What better place than Alaska, the New Frontier, to explore the laying of a new foundation for economic prosperity, and new resulting roles for economic development practitioners.

The 2015 IEDC Annual Conference will feature sessions based around these four tracks:

  1. Government and Economic Resiliency 
  2. Frameworks for a Robust Private Sector 
  3. Roles of Institutes of Higher Learning in Economic Development
  4. Value Proposition of NGOs and Nonprofits 

With over 1,000 projected attendees, this event is essential for economic developers at all stages in their careers and at all levels within the profession. Don't miss out on the largest international gathering of economic development professionals in the world - register today
