Be the Change, Before Change Changes You!
This year we are challenging you to “Be the Change, Before Change Changes You!”
As Economic Development professionals, it’s our responsibility to lead our communities through potential growth opportunities and predict challenges that may come from these opportunities. Some provinces, cities and towns have seen unprecedented growth which brings economic vitality and jobs. It can also bring certain challenges that have to be addressed before negative impacts implicate the growth.
Other provinces, cities and towns have an opportunity to seize the momentum by analyzing supply chain and workforce opportunities.
This four-day event will challenge our attendees to look to the future for their areas of jurisdiction, what resources will they need, and how they will implement the changes needed to stay in front of change. Attendees will be armed with real-time resources and solutions they can take back and implement in their organisations.
