Now Seeking Your Session Proposals for the 2021 Virtual C2ER/LMI Institute Annual Conference

The Council for Community and Economic Research (C2ER) and the Labor Market Information (LMI) Institute are currently soliciting proposals for the next annual conference and forum, which will be held virtually June 7 – 11, 2021.

The theme this year is The Great Pivot: Reinvention for Recovery and Resilience. Below is information on this year’s conference and details on how to submit your proposal.

Breakout sessions are a key component to the success of our conference. They enable our attendees to share, learn, converse, and interact with one another on topics of mutual interest and compare research methods, data collection practices, visualization tools, and lessons learned in the field. This conference provides a great opportunity to expand your network and present your research to a large audience of your peers. The conference includes a variety of keynote and plenary speakers, and roundtables to offer world class networking and the opportunity to see community and economic development in action.

Session proposals must be received by Friday, November 6, 2020.
