Who Should Attend
This conference is focused on three distinct audiences:
- Existing businesses interested in local growth
- Individuals interested in starting a business in or near Wayland
- Local town, county and regional governments and agencies
What the Conference Offers
The purpose of the conference is to bring together all three of these audiences, so they can meet each other and establish initial networks for future collaboration. The speakers at the conference will represent, state, region, county, town and village governments and agencies, as well as established companies who make significant contributions to the local economy. The conversations between presentations will no doubt lead to new relationships between individuals who generate jobs and those who govern and administer the communities. When agencies who serve the public and private sector hear directly what their constituency has to say, we expect both groups will learn something.
