From how -to sessions and profiles of specific case studies to exploring economic development programs with key <br />industry leaders, the three program tracks are sure to provide informative, thought - provoking topics. <br />The sessions will include such topics as foreign trade zones, bioscience and green industries and technology transfer. Also <br />included are key economic development strategies surrounding the use of community market studies and surveys, review of <br />proposals, making the most of your comprehensive plans, working effectively between the public and private sectors and a new <br />look at redevelopment tools. In addition, there are several sessions that focus on great case studies from all across the state <br />including the metro, northwest Minnesota and Duluth. <br />This year's keynote presentations will provide economic development perspectives from a national and state perspective. The <br />opening address will feature Minnesota DEED Commissioner Dan McElroy with a few words regarding the economic condition of <br />the state and how this may affect DEED programs. The closing session will include Bill Blazer from the Minnesota Chamber to <br />provide an update on the Grow Minnesota efforts across the state. <br />As we enter challenging economic times and a future with environment and social changes, we hope the EDAM Winter <br />Conference will provide ways to develop your mind! <br />25 <br />
