Economic Development

The Economic Development Track examines the realities and potential of arts- and culture-oriented community and economic development. Provocative speakers and sessions will deliver research, case studies, and discussions on the dynamics and impact of various elements of this work—including real estate and business development and finance, cultural tourism, and community planning.
