NCEDA 2022 Annual Conference, presented by ECS Southeast

June 14, 2022 - June 16, 2022

Description


The pandemic may be gone, but its impact on our economy and society still lingers. How is the fast-shifting global landscape impacting economic development priorities and processes, not to mention the work-lives of those in our profession? Join peers from across our state and our community as experts offer the latest guidance on the economy, product inventory, land-use issues, career management and the demands being made on our organizations. Get the latest insight from respected leaders from government, business and education – all the while building and re-kindling important relationships that bring real value to our lives and our work. This family-friendly two-day event will also include exceptional cuisine, great beverages, beach music and a festival of summer fun along the Cape Fear Coast!
