IEDC conferences are where economic development professionals go to stay at the forefront of our profession through interactive sessions led by industry experts and reputable keynote speakers. Held in a different city each year, IEDC’s three conferences bring our profession together, culminating in the world's largest gathering of economic developers at our Annual Conference. Economic developers, businesses committed to economic development, community leaders, academics, and stakeholders learn about cutting edge strategies through the fostering of new relationships, educational tours, and innovative programming.
While attending an IEDC conference is undoubtedly a valuable experience, there are multiple avenues to engage in our prestigious gatherings. By sponsoring, exhibiting, or delivering a presentation at an IEDC conference, you can significantly elevate your exposure, all the while contributing to the advancement of the economic development profession and strengthening your bonds within the community of professionals. Undoubtedly, the pinnacle of involvement lies in the opportunity to host an IEDC conference right in your city.
