    #PEDAfall24 Conference Registration Now Open

    Registration is now open for the 2024 PEDA Fall Conference, taking place in Erie, Pennsylvania this October! You're definitely not going to want to miss out. Not only will we be joined by Keynote Presenter Timothy G. NeCastro, President and CEO of Erie Insurance (who has been instrumental in the revitalization of Erie's downtown and who will discuss Erie's Downtown Renaissance), but we're also extremely excited to announce that, by shortening the length of a number of conference sessions, we've been able to enhance the overall agenda by packing in even more topics of importance to economic development professionals! Please use the following links to learn more, to register for the conference and pre-conference session, and more.

    • Register and pay for the conference by COB on 8/28/24 to obtain the Early Bird rate.
