November Webinar with Ady Advantage

Copy of NEDA Webinar

Last year, 238 cities and regions across the country put together their best, most creative RFI responses, in hopes of winning the huge, highly public, Amazon HQ2 project. The search has since been narrowed down to the top 20 cities, and there will likely only be one winner. Ady Advantage has reviewed over 30 publicly available Amazon RFI responses to showcase best practices in RFI responses. In this webinar you will learn: how projects like Amazon HQ2 are changing the economic development and site selection industry; what the best practices are in RFI responses; what information EDOs should always have on-hand and up-to-date; and how to increase your community’s competitiveness through RFI responses.

UPDATE

2018 Thrive Northeast Conference Canceled

After much thought, and with great reluctance, we have decided not to proceed with this year’s planned Thrive Northeast conference. While the response to the program presenters has been enthusiastic, registration and sponsorship are too low to meet the cost threshold at this late date to indicate a fiscally successful event. We have identified many factors that may be at play; top among them is the fact that we are hearing budgets for travel and conference expenses are at an all-time low. And as much as people enjoy the NEDA conference, with many ways to connect and learn, there is much competition not only for dollars but also for attention. In other words, a two-day conference once a year may not be what our members and partners want and need.

We have created some great content, that we will not be canceling, but instead, delivering it in other ways. We regard this challenge as an opportunity to learn and grow as an organization and to offer the highest value to our members. There are many ways to connect, inform and inspire, including local in-person and virtual events. We will begin by featuring our marvelous 2018 presenters, making sure they have even better opportunities to share their ideas and insights with the NEDA community. Please stay tuned, we will have more information very shortly.

For anyone who booked hotel rooms, please be sure to cancel. If you registered, conference fee refunds have already begun. Should you have any difficulty please contact us at 518-694-4580 or email staff@nedaonline.com. Our staff will be glad to help out.
