About the conference

Want to reach a new level of economic development success in your community?  Then mix, mingle and learn from those who have been there, done that.  Join the experts who, like you, recognize that survival in today’s uncertain economic environment means having the right team in place to recognize and act on opportunities and mitigate risks, ensure commercial success and increase profit margins for businesses across Ontario.  Learn how to rev up your team, act on the latest trends, technology and policies, and drive your community’s future. It can’t all be about plenaries and interactive workshops. This is also the event to be at for those interested in face-to-face networking interactions.  During the opening reception, the ever-popular Feast On Reception and the breakfasts and luncheons, take time to connect with other high performers in economic development, or reconnect with those you only “speak” to digitally.  Aside from the knowledge gained, past EDCO conferences have been the site of new partnerships developed over just two days of gathering with other economic development enthusiasts.
