Utah Alliance for Economic Development 2019 Meetings

Herriman City - October 23-24, 2019

2019 IEDC Economic Future Forum
Salt Lake City, Utah
June 9-11, 2019

Make plans to attend this IEDC Economic Forum. We seldom get to host an IEDC meeting. This is a great opportunity for you to get the information without having to allocate travel costs.

The Economic Future Forum is a forward-looking conference that focuses on fostering innovation and economic transformation in the new economy. The conference explores industry trends and the partnerships and strategies needed to grow, attract, retain, and expand companies in established and emerging industries. Join fellow economic development professionals and experience Salt Lake City's economic development success, including its enormous urban revitalization and recent downtown revival, the strong legacy of the 2002 Winter Olympic Games, and the city's thriving arts and entertainment scene.

Registration information can be found here.
