MEDA's biggest education and networking event of the year is its Annual Meeting. This conference includes educational sessions covering the most important economic development topics and issues of the time and several networking opportunities.
This year, we will focus on how longstanding key components in the recipe for economic development success - public support, infrastructure, jobs, people, streetscapes, site selector support – can all be enhanced by federal investment, AI, new supply chain strategies, and comprehensive community development, can refine your economic development strategy for tomorrow.
