Each year, the University Economic Development Association (UEDA) convenes thought leaders from across the globe to share ideas and best practices in economic development amongst institutions of higher education and their regional partners. Participants in this annual Summit examine cutting-edge practices in economic engagement and build a learning network of colleagues to identify opportunities, develop partnerships, and ultimately tailor and apply best practices to their respective communities and organizations.

The 2019 UEDA Summit will be held in Reno this fall (Sept. 29th – Oct. 2nd, 2019).

As part of the planning efforts for this international conference, UEDA will host a rally to engage with regional economic development stakeholders from the greater Reno-Tahoe region and throughout Nevada in a discussion around:

How can we showcase Nevada to this group of economic developers?
What topics from this international group will help drive additional economic engagement in Nevada?
How can Nevada play a role in ensuring a successful Summit for UEDA?
We invite you to attend this rally as we work to provide a solid foundation to ensure the 2019 UEDA Summit in Nevada is the best that the organization has experienced throughout its history!
