Exploring the Building Blocks of Economic Development

The 2022 WEDA Best Practices Conference will be held this fall, Sept. 28-30, in beautiful La Crosse, WI. Coincidentally, the conference will overlap with La Crosse’s famous Octoberfest – the longest-running Oktoberfest in the Midwest. What could be better than a cutting-edge economic development conference AND a revered Wisconsin tradition?

The upcoming conference will provide attendees with a tremendous opportunity to dive into the fundamentals of economic development and the leading issues of the day, including workforce housing; childcare access; talent attraction; transportation issues; business expansion and retention best practices; and redevelopment and revitalization opportunities.

In addition to a wealth of networking opportunities, dynamic speakers, and continuing education credit certifications (EDFP, CEcD and AICP), the Best Practices Conference will include the Community and Economic Development Awards (CEDA). The CEDA Awards program recognizes and celebrates exceptional projects, programs, and businesses that drive economic growth in Wisconsin.

We look forward to seeing you at the 2022 Best Practices Conference. Come for the conference and stay for the world renowned La Crosse Octoberfest!
