Events and Sponsorship
Conferences
IEDC hosts three conferences annually: the Leadership Summit (winter), the Economic Future Forum (spring) and the Annual Conference (fall). Each conference takes place in a different location, chosen for its specific and unique economic development story.
- The Leadership Summit is exclusive to economic development executives and Certified Economic Developers, with programming specifically tailored to the needs and challenges of those leading the profession.
- The Economic Future Forum presents the latest in economic development trends and practices, allowing attendees to glimpse future opportunities and challenges.
- IEDC's Annual Conference is the pinnacle event of the year for economic developers and is the largest gathering of professionals and stakeholders from around the world.
