The Connecticut Economic Development Summit will take place later this year, the first large-scale in-person event from the Department of Economic and Community Development since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The event will run from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Dec. 2 at The Bushnell in Hartford. The half-day conference will include interactive discussions on state policies and decisions influencing Connecticut’s economic recovery, how the state has been navigating the pandemic, and what opportunities the state has for developing a sustainable economic future.
DECD Commissioner David Lehman said he expects more than 500 participants, including corporate partners, thought leaders, social media influencers, entrepreneurs, Connecticut stakeholders, new residents, government officials, C-level executives, and Governor Ned Lamont.
Attendees must show proof of being vaccinated against COVID-19 or a negative test for the virus. People can currently register on the summit’s website, and a full agenda and list of speakers will be listed at a later date.
