No matter your position in the development finance industry, you play an important role in fostering economic growth. But, we all contribute in different ways, so the 2008 Annual Summit will offer three focus areas - local, state, and federal - highlighting the various approaches to development finance at each level. You can stick with one focus area or mix-and-match; either way, you'll learn about what's happening in development finance today. Complimenting these focus areas will be workshops, tours, extensive networking opportunities and the prestigious Practitioner's Showcase. Finally, the general sessions will pull it all together and provide overarching strategies for catalyzing local, state & federal financing resources.
