Standard & Works is headed to Detroit next week for the IEDC Annual Conference.
We spoke to the organization about what’s in store.
Here’s two big things to expect:
Showcasing Detroit and the output of regional collaboration
In the sea of economic development organizations, it can be hard to get stakeholders in the same region to row in the same direction – including not competing with one another.
IEDC hopes to showcase how Detroit and Michigan economic development organizations have honed their efforts to work together.
Covering the range of different skills supporting economic developers today
The economic development profession today requires a broad range of skills, so the conference’s program is designed to support that diversification.
There’s a whole track dedicated to communications and storytelling, which we look forward to attending!
Send me a note if you’ll be there.
