Gorge Local Economies Summit

In a world that’s been “reset” by a sharp worldwide recession, unpredictable climate events, and the reality that big business is not the only answer for economic growth and job creation, the opportunities for small and local business have never been better.

The Gorge Local Economies Summit is an opportunity to come together with other business owners, government leaders, community members and students to discuss many of the unique challenges—such as maintaining clientele during the off-season, connecting with businesses across geographic and state lines, accessing capital and expertise—as well as the unique opportunities available to businesses in our region.

At this one day conference, learn how some businesses are pushing the envelope to overcome these challenges, keep more money flowing in our local economy, and generating multiple returns for our community.
