The Southern Economic Development Council will host the annual #AmericanSouth Site Selection Summit in Arlington, Texas, on April 27 through 29. The Summit brings economic developers and site selectors together in one place to discuss what comes next for the American South, a region that stands as the world’s third-largest economy and the premier destination for global investment.
The Summit is built for leaders who are shaping the future of communities and industry. Attendees will gain real-time intelligence on corporate location trends, market signals, and new competitive drivers. Content will focus on how states and communities can offer fast, risk-free location decisions, deliver workforce and infrastructure readiness at scale, and create an environment where companies can launch, expand, and thrive.
We anticipate more than 500 attendees and over 45 speakers, including many of the nation’s leading site selectors. Today, SEDC is pleased to announce the experts confirmed to join the 2026 #AmericanSouth Site Selection Summit stage. |
