The International Economic Development Council (IEDC) is creating the year-long Centennial Event Series to celebrate 100 years of IEDC’s leadership in economic development. These events will serve as a lead-up to IEDC’s Annual Conference, the world’s largest convening of economic developers, October 25-28, 2026, in New Orleans! IEDC is seeking proposals from members – local, regional and state-wide organizations, jurisdictions, and other institutions – interested in serving as host locations for high-impact events conducted in partnership with IEDC.
