Dear C2ER Members, Partners, and Enthusiasts,
I am writing to invite you to attend the 63rd C2ER annual conference, the professional development event of the year for economic and workforce development researchers. This year the theme is “Creative Solutions for Transformational Change”, and we are eager to hear about how local and regional researchers are using data in innovative ways to tackle economic challenges.
At the conference you will have the opportunity to hear from industry-leading keynote speakers, attend popular/premier professional development courses, participate in Researchers’ Roundtables, and network with researchers from across the country. Additionally, we will be recognizing the outstanding work of our peers with the annual Community & Economic Research Awards and the prestigious Charles Benefield Award.
