Event Registration - Economic Developers Alberta

Rural economic developers in Alberta face a familiar set of challenges: attracting investment, retaining talent, and building resilient local economies, often with limited capacity and resources. So what can we learn from those tackling the same issues?

Join us for a practical conversation with Margot Cathcart, CEO of the Rural Manitoba Economic Development Corporation (RMED), as we explore the strategies working in rural Manitoba and the lessons Alberta professionals can bring back to their own communities. We'll dig into regional collaboration, workforce attraction, and the realities of doing more with less. Expect candid insights, practical takeaways, and plenty of room for your questions.
