The fourth annual Wisconsin Economic Summit will feature two days of panels and discussions that will share real-life examples of how local government, business, and community leaders have come together to drive investments in Wisconsin’s economy and build places where residents can thrive.
“Speakers from around the state will share their real-life stories about how they were able to unlock investments that are propelling their communities forward,” said Sam Rikkers, Deputy Secretary and Chief Operating Officer of the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation (WEDC), the state’s lead economic development agency. “The lessons they’ve learned and the challenges they have overcome to create thriving communities can provide insights for everyone in our state.”
The summit is set for Oct. 15-16 at the KI Convention Center in Green Bay. Online registration is closed, but on-site registration will be available.
