Memphis Moment #3:
Early Bird Rates are About to Become History

This is a friendly reminder that Early Bird pricing for the 66th C2ER + LMI Institute Conference will end on April 1. After that, the regular rate will apply, so register today!
Speaking of history, Memphis doesn’t just tell its history; it lets you walk right through it. Outside The Peabody, you’ll find some of the most iconic and consequential places in American history. These aren’t generic museums; they’re sites where stories unfolded, movements ignited, and culture was shaped.
See the National Civil Rights Museum, built into the Lorraine Motel, where the legacy of the movement is preserved with extraordinary care. Or Beale Street, once the epicenter of Black entrepreneurship, music, and community life; a National Historic Landmark where every block carries a century of stories.

Explore Sun Studio, the birthplace of rock ’n’ roll, where Elvis, B.B. King, and Johnny Cash cut tracks that changed music forever. Wander through Stax Museum of American Soul Music, standing on the original site of Stax Records, where soul legends recorded the soundtrack of a generation.
It’s become a tradition at our conference to get attendees out of the hotel and into the city; to learn, connect, and experience the places that make Memphis unforgettable. Ready to experience Memphis in a way that stays with you long after the sessions end? Register now and join us at The Peabody for the C2ER + LMI Institute Annual Conference.

The Center for Regional Economic Competitiveness (CREC), in partnership with the Labor Market Information Institute (LMI Institute), invites applications for the Regional Data Connections Cohort—a six-month initiative designed to help states and regions strengthen how workforce and economic data are used to inform policy and practice.
|
|
<!– |
|
|
| <!– |
This cohort brings together state agencies, workforce boards, and regional partners to tackle real-world data challenges and improve how information is shared, aligned, and applied across systems.
|
|
<!– |
|
|
| <!– |
Participants will strengthen coordination between state and regional data partners, improve LMI and workforce data, and create practical models that can be scaled across regions. Selected teams will receive hands-on technical assistance, including an on-site facilitator visit, a two-day convening in Washington, DC, and access to expert-led sessions—all focused on turning data into actionable insights.
