Year-round sponsors help MEDA and the MEDA Foundation deliver first-rate training and services to members shaping the future of economic development. Throughout the year, our partners enjoy member benefits and showcase their businesses to a key audience of decision-makers across the state. MEDA is on the cutting edge of e-networking, building its web, Facebook, Twitter, and You Tube presence to our sponsors' marketing advantage.
Over the last five decades, MEDA, Maryland's only economic development association, has evolved into a powerful force, providing valuable benefits and services to sponsors and members.
Today, nearly 500 members hold influential positions in local and regional economic development organizations and cabinet-level positions in state agencies. Our members work for virtually all of the state's counties and the City of Baltimore, private companies, and non-profit agencies, all stakeholders in Maryland's continued prosperity.
Sponsorship benefits include access to this powerful network and affiliation with an organization strategically positioned to help you promote your message in Maryland.
Each year, the MEDA Annual Conference hosts more than 200 professionals seeking guidance on economic development matters impacting the state. This three-day conference brings together visionaries from business, government, and education to collaborate, leverage resources, and create lasting solutions for all citizens.
