EVENT OVERVIEW
CEDA's annual Hunter Region Conference examines economic development, infrastructure delivery and sectoral opportunities for the region.
Now in its 7th year, this conference brings together experts to deliver national, state and local insights for the region.
Moving to an earlier August date this year, in advance of the Federal election, CEDA encourages you to join peers from business, government and academia. Sessions will examine:
- Local regional development and economic outlook;
- Key business and development issues;
- Transport priorities and delivery;
- Energy and water infrastructure;
- Focus on service industries and innovation;
- Twenty-first century changes and the implications for business; and
- The Hunter region and the Asian Century.
