"Creating Your Regional Talent Advantage"

 

Your community's success depends on having the best and brightest people. This conference is designed to help you assess how well your community or region can effectively:

  • Appeal to the unique culture of a younger, more diverse cohort of workers,
  • Adapt to the anticipated loss of experience from retiring baby boomers, and
  • Determine the source of skilled workers to meet the needs of emerging growth companies.

Successful economic development will depend on differentiating your region based on its unique talent advantage. This conference – targeted to community, economic, and workforce analysts – will help you by providing the critical data on the latest trends and best practices of model regional and community responses.
