Encouraging Regional Innovation: SSTI Releases 12th Annual Conference Agenda Online

August 06, 2008

The full-color, full-conference brochure will hit the streets next week but we wanted to give Digest readers the first peek at what promises to be a very special event for the technology-based economic development (TBED) community. SSTI’s 12th Annual Conference will be held Oct. 14-16, 2008, at the Intercontinental Hotel Cleveland.

As you scan the conference schedule on the website, you’ll discover we’re putting together our most complete and complex conference yet. Everything at the event is designed to help state, regional and university-based TBED initiatives answer two central questions arising repeatedly across the country – questions needing answers for the field and for the entire national innovation system:

  • How do we make the most significant difference or impact for our regional economy?
  • Where do we go from here?

This is the TBED community’s not-to-miss event of the year, as once again, more than 300 top TBED practitioners are expected to attend from across the entire U.S.

We closed registration early last year because we ran out of space – don’t let it happen to you in Cleveland! Register your TBED team today! More details are available at http://www.ssticonference.org/.
