As economic development professionals everywhere grapple with the unprecedented challenge of keeping their regional economies afloat, it can be enormously helpful and instructive to learn from each other. Unfortunately, we can no longer do that with the conferences marked our calendars only a few short weeks ago. 

So we need to get creative.

The COVID-19 pandemic has shown us a variety of responses, strategies and responses from different regions. In this May 5th webinar, the second in our EDO Roundtable series, we heard from different economic developers discussing how they have been working to meet and mitigate these unprecedented challenges. They shared what has worked for them, what they planned to change, and what they see taking place as they move forward into the recovery phase. Participants were encouraged to bring their own questions to share with our panellists.
