14th Annual Development Conference
Opportunity in Crisis: Reality, Reinvent, Revitalize
Thank you for your interest in the 14th Annual Minnesota Development Conference – Opportunity in Crisis: Reality, Reinvent, Revitalize.
With an uncertain future, we can’t continue to operate in the same ways that we’ve done in the past. We need new ideas, significant changes in our decisions, and the ways in which we interact to make an impact on how Minnesota will still be positioned at the top. It is up to those in the field – economic developers, workforce development professionals, and educators to come to together and showcase what is working in these times of change.
We are currently taking proposals for our Call for Presentations.
- Deadline for proposals is Friday, May 15th.

Keynote Presentations:
- Tom Stinson, State Economist and Tom Gillespie, State Demographer
- Richard Longworth, author of “Caught in The Middle.”
- Site Selector Panel – additional details to follow.
