Annual Conference
C2ER is celebrating 50 YEARS of service to the field of community and economic research. Since those heady days of the early 1960s, the organization has been at the forefront of developing expertise for policy leaders and practitioners on how to understand the economic trends affect their communities. The Annual Conference offers a unique learning experience to gain a national perspective, learn about emerging trends, gain new technical and management skills, and tap a network of other like-minded persons from state and local economic development organizations, chambers of commerce, utilities, workforce development groups, regional planning organizations, applied academic research centers, and federal agencies.
