Join us this fall for the 2nd Annual Women in Economic Development Forum organized by The Consultants Forum. With so much positive feedback from last year's Forum, and with the strong encouragement by nearly all who attended we hope you will consider joining us in Chicago this October.

This Women in Economic Development Forum promises to be an outstanding opportunity to meet and network with leading site consultants and industry leaders while discussing and sharing ideas with your peers.

This Conference is an acknowledgment of the growing importance of the role of women in the industry, and is intended to encourage and inspire both professional and personal growth. The Forum's unique program is designed to allow you to interact with some of the most influential women currently working in the industry.

The Consultants Forum series has built a reputation as a no-nonsense, insightful event where you'll meet and learn from the best minds in site consulting, corporate real estate and economic development.

In addition to offering valuable networking opportunities and professional development sessions. the program will also include panel discussions on best practices in site selection, case studies and strategies for attracting and retaining companies while addressing the key issues effecting economic development professionals today.
