The Nevada Economic Development Conference, Stronger Economies Together 2015, will be held May 19 through 21, 2015 at the Joe Crowley Student Union on the University of Nevada, Reno campus. Registration is open.
At least 350 business community leaders, policy makers and government officials from throughout the region are expected to attend. The conference will offer eight tracks addressing: access to capital, agribusiness, energy, infrastructure, manufacturing, tourism, transportation and workforce development-as cornerstones of economic growth. In addition to the sessions, the event will provide a pre-conference workshop, institute specials, offsite tours and networking opportunities.
“We encourage anyone interested in connecting with Nevada’s economic development network to attend this informative conference. Business owners, manufacturers, banks, virtually anyone involved with the future vitality of our region will benefit from the experience,” said Dean Haymore, Board President of Western Nevada Development District.
The conference is presented by Western Nevada Development District, College of Business at the University of Nevada, Reno and USDA Rural Development. The purpose of the event is to encourage dialogue and education regarding Nevada economic development challenges and future opportunities.
Session presenter, Lynn Beteag, Administrator, for the Nevada State EB-5 Regional Center will discuss accessing capital through foreign investment and the benefits of the EB-5 Program. The EB-5 program was implemented by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) which facilitates US economic growth, allowing international investment, which leads to local job creation in exchange for immigration benefits. In 2014, over $5 billion dollars of EB-5 foreign capital was invested in US projects.
“The Nevada Economic Development Conference is an opportunity to generate dialogue on our regional economy. The Nevada State EB-5 Regional Center is excited to participate in this conference and utilize this opportunity to educate regional businesses about the most important aspect of EB-5 Program- primarily job creation in the US through the leveraging of foreign direct investment. It is all about creating local jobs!” said Ms. Beteag.
During the conference, additional nationally and regionally recognized experts will address a variety of topics including: grant capital, creative economic development, tourism, workforce development and more.
