2026 Economic Development Forum (EDF)

The Economic Development Forum (EDF) convenes national thought leaders, representatives from all levels of government, corporate representatives, Small Business Owners, Aspiring Entrepreneurs, representatives from the economic and advocacy ecosystem, and the greater community. Over the years, the EDF has:

• Presented federal, state, and local policy positions that supported or furthered corporate and procurement engagement.
• Showcased proven strategies through presentations tailored for both corporate and small business audiences.
• Provided hundreds of face-to-face corporate and procurement connections in the Exhibition Hall.
• Facilitated millions of dollars in post-Exhibit Hall procurements.
