What a great opportunity to participate in two conferences in one location – and continue the energy from the Summit. MEDA Members will have a lot of hands-on work to do in preparation for the legislative session. You won’t want to miss our conference.

We hope you can join us as we gather to share Big Sky ideas on sparking innovation, boosting exports, and creating good-paying jobs.

Our theme is: “Energizing Montana’s Economy” with a focus on our in-the-field role in Montana’s economic recovery.

Do register for the Professional Development training – it is going to be very practical, dynamic and hands-on.
