If you're looking to meet economic development professionals who specialize in BR&E, then the annual conference of Business Retention and Expansion International (BREI) may be ideal for you. The organization meets annually, alternating conferences between the U.S. and Canada. This year, the meeting is set for June 6-8 at the Delta Hotel in Regina, Saskatchewan with the theme: "Growing from Within -- Thinking Regionally, Succeeding Globally." It's a great opportunity to visit beautiful Regina in Canada's midwest; meet and sociaize with other BR&E practitioners; and learn at the same time!

The conference is presented by Business Retention and Expansion International, The Government of Saskatchewan and Saskatchewan Economic Development Association. This is the fourteenth annual BREI conference to provide a forum to share ideas, and learn from experts in the field. New investments and new ways of cooperating in the global economy will be discussed. Speakers will talk about the latest trends, tools, models, initiatives for economic development, business expansion and business retention.

The June 4 - 8, 2007 event will be held in the city of Saskatchewan which is known for its ability to host elaborate international events. Hundreds of economic development leaders will participate to discuss how to best grow their respective economies. This is a great opportunity to learn how to maximize results in business expansion, retain jobs and talent, and increase exports, identify opportunities for growth and barriers to business success. New methods for creating and implementing strategic development plans will be discussed. There will be many opportunities to partner, collaborate, and co-operate regionally. If you represent a private or public organization, university, private consulting business, utility, or government economic development organization, you will not want to miss this conference.
