This conference brings together public and private-sector leaders, business professionals, and community advocates to share knowledge, discuss challenges, and collaborate on innovative solutions that drive economic growth and resiliency throughout the state.

This year’s Annual Conference is centered around the theme “Where Industry Takes Root”, is set against the beautiful backdrop of the central Willamette Valley in Salem, OR at the Salem Convention Center.
