2016 MEDA Annual Conference

  • This event has passed.

The Economic Dynamics of Live, Work & Play

Business attraction and retention are top priorities for states, cities and community developers. This conference will highlight planning and executing the right mixture of quality-of-life amenities that attract businesses, employees, residents and visitors.

While not all communities have world-class stadiums or major entertainment venues, they still possess recreational, cultural and entertainment assets, offering a lifestyle which appeals to employers, employees and residents. Our presenters will focus on identifying and constructing the key elements crucial to creating a dynamic, vibrant community where people want to live, work and play.
