What will be different? 

Going virtual means the conference will have many new features and highlights that weren’t possible in an in-person event.  Some of the most noteworthy differences you’ll want to know about are:

• The conference series will now run every Wednesday from January 20 – February 24, 2021. Not able to catch all of the leading-edge sessions? Not a problem – sessions will be recorded so you can catch up at a time that works for you.
• We’re ready to unveil the program. You can look forward to even more of the insightful, practical learning that you’ve come to expect from the EDCO Conference!
• Significantly reduced pricing:  A major perk of a virtual event is that it’s much more accessible to economic developers not only in Ontario but across the country and around the world, as there’s no travel time!  To ensure as many as possible can attend, we’ve set a registration fee that is sure to fit into any budget. 

What will be the same?
