The EDCO Central Regional Event in Georgina brings together economic development professionals, municipal leaders, and community organizations for a full day of networking, knowledge-sharing, and practical insights tailored to Ontario’s rural and regional economies.
This year’s theme explores innovative partnerships and investment strategies that empower smaller communities. The agenda features a powerful keynote from Lauri Hoeg of the Chippewas of Georgina Island First Nation, who will share Anishnaabe teachings and perspectives on respectful collaboration in economic development. Panel discussions will dive into agri-tourism opportunities, investment readiness, and leveraging community stakeholders for collective growth. A guided tour of Clearwater Farm and local networking opportunities are included.
Whether you’re looking to expand your community’s investment appeal or explore sustainable economic models, this is a must-attend event. Member registration is $125 (until May 21), and non-member registration is $175. Don’t miss your chance to connect with peers and gain valuable strategies to apply in your region.
