Expansion Management's Roundtable Conferences continue to be the premier source for education and networking in the Economic Development Industry. This unique forum allows attendees to connect directly with leading national site consultants.

Here's what attendees are saying about the roundtable programs:

"We have found the roundtable format to produce the best ROI. We have gotten direct measurable business from meeting the site selectors at the Roundtables."

"Roundtable provided an opportunity to interact with site consultants in a way that allows relationships to be built."

"Overall extremely positive and valuable experience."

"Attending a Roundtable is worth canceling another marketing mission if you don't have the budget to do both."

"The presentations are educational and provide an insight into the minds of consultants and the one-on-one sessions allow you to get to know the person, talk about your community, or region and ask specific questions."
Your registration to a Roundtable Conference includes presentations from the site consultants and a variety of leisure activities designed to help you build relationships with the speakers. You will also have the added bonus of discussing your ED agency's opportunities and challenges with SOME of our presenters in one-on-one meetings.

Don't wait too long to register for the Roundtable Conferences as seating for each program is limited!
