The 2021 PEDA Fall Conference kicks off, live in King of Prussia, PA, on October 6th. A great lineup is planned and we're pleased to welcome Keynote Presenter Nancy Walsh, a small business and leadership expert, who will reflect on the experiences of starting a new business in the midst of a pandemic and coaching individuals and teams through the fear, frenzy and opportunities of 2020. Throughout this interactive session, she will discuss the importance of connection, the problem-solving magic of appreciative inquiry and the "twin super-powers of leadership" (self-awareness and empathy).
Some of the other topics to be addressed during the conference are the role of EDOs in fostering diversity, equity and inclusiveness; the role of improvement districts in economic development; the demystification of RACP; the transformation of urban and suburban Philadelphia in the 21st century and more. We hope you'll join us in King of Prussia this October!
