C2ER 49th Annual Conference
"Energizing Entrepreneurship: Monitoring Progress, Making Change"
June 2-5, 2009
InterContinental Kansas City at the Plaza
Kansas City, MO
In the current economic climate, regional policy makers and researchers are seeking new niches to reinvigorate growth. From renewable energy technologies to more efficient logistical systems and from creative endeavors to proprietary ideas, dynamic entrepreneurs are creating economic value in our communities. How do we find those entrepreneurs, inspire their imagination, and monitor their progress in creating new jobs and wealth for our citizens? While policy makers may ask these questions, it is our job to find answers. The purpose of this conference is to guide you in your search.
Join the Council for Community and Economic Research at our 49th Annual Conference in Kansas City as we explore how many states and regions are seeking new ways to identify their fast growing firms and targeting their efforts to energize their entrepreneurs.
