Economic Development Conference

June 10, 2026 | 3 Willows Event Center

Welcome to Our Largest Event of the Year!

If Not You, Then Who?

At the Economic Development Conference, we’re bringing entrepreneurs and small business owners, business & community leaders, municipal leaders, and nonprofit leaders from across Northern New York together to inspire and champion growth in our communities.

This event is about more than just ideas. We believe that real economic development starts with people. After all, if it’s not you making the change you want to see, then who will?
