In case you haven't heard, IEDC's 2017 Annual Conference will be in Toronto! We're extending an invitation for you to join us in Cleveland this year as well.
Join us for IEDC's 2016 Annual Conference - it's the world's largest gathering of economic development professionals. This year's Conference is already shaping up to be a special one, as IEDC will honor its 90th anniversary with a special celebration.
The program draws on the inspirational story of Cleveland: from its rise as a powerhouse economy, to its adaptation to new economic realities, and its rebirth through reinvestment in institutions, infrastructure, and relationships.
At the Annual Conference, you can expect four plenary sessions with engaging keynote speakers, dozens of breakout sessions, and hundreds of speakers, moderators and industry experts, all talking about the latest and greatest in the economic development industry.

This practitioner-driven course uses the case study method to complement current neighborhood development theory. Participants will learn how to identify the major neighborhood actors, their objectives, and strategies for redevelopment, in addition to understanding the process for creating a strategic economic development plan to meet the neighborhood development goals. Specifically, this course will examine social capital (e.g., linkages, networks, talent, etc.), environmental capital (e.g., stewardship, residual management, etc.) and economic capital (e.g., investment and reinvestment) facing distressed neighborhoods and offer solutions to address local needs.
Course Highlights:
- Asset creation, wealth creation, and enterprise development & expansion
- Housing development, real estate speculation, and tax-base stabilization
- Public and private sector role in combating inner city unemployment
- Examining historical and current neighborhood trends
- Performing leakage assessments and gap analyses
