EDND SparkED Training Conference

The Economic Development Association of North Dakota conferences are where economic development professionals and community leaders to learn and network through interactive sessions led by industry experts and speakers from throughout the state and region. Held bi-annually in different communities, EDND’s conferences unite our profession by educating and connecting economic developers, businesses committed to economic development, community leaders, academics, and stakeholders.
