Shifting Gears: Economic Engines of the Future
The International Economic Development Council (IEDC) 2010 Leadership Summit aims to help leaders in the economic development profession prepare for a transforming economy. The global recession has accelerated the volatility and pace of change within our key industries including manufacturing, financial services, energy, agriculture and medical care. At the same time, the economic stimulus is creating new opportunities in these and other sectors. Our methods of growing quality jobs and promoting economic growth are consequently shifting with new attention to possibilities of entrepreneurship and sustainability. Given all of this flux, the economy of the future will be dramatically different than the economy of today. To remain effective, economic developers will need to adapt to a new set of opportunities and competitive factors. Join the top professionals in the field as we explore and prepare for the new economic engines of our future.
