EDCO has held an annual conference since its start-up in 1957.

Each year, members and other engaged in profession gather in early February to exchange information and learn from leading edge presentations that are transferrable to their respective communities. Part of the event includes a showcase that offers participants to learn about new programming and services that will assist in day-to-day operations and funding of special projects.

The Taste of the region Reception is a long standing event that highlights culinary uniqueness from across the region of the Conference host community, as well as local beverages. The reception allows members to network with new and existing colleagues while experience all that the host community has to offer. The President’s Gala Dinner is the send off event for members where excellence in Economic Development is celebrated through the EDCO Awards of Excellence presentations.
