On June 19-21, 2013 IIUSA hosted its 3rd Annual International Investment & Economic Development Forum in Las Vegas. Thanks to your commitment to IIUSA, the generous support of sponsor/exhibitors, engaging speakers, and industry leadership all around – we are pleased to report that this year’s attendance increased by over 30% to 450+ from over five countries – easily setting a new high for attendance at an IIUSA conference. More importantly than the noteworthy growth, the content of this year’s forum focus on new, data-driven industry intelligence, legal & policy analysis that truly represented the tireless work of IIUSA members, committees, leadership, advisers, and staff to produce valuable industry intelligence that keeps you informed when making decisions in the marketplace. We were also proud to launch a mobile app just for the event and produce a beautiful, color-printed handbook that represents comprehensive snapshot of the Regional Center industry today.
Long story short…we are excited to start planning for next year!
Video recordings of the panel presentations will be available for purchase at IIUSA Marketplace as soon as they are ready. The videos will feature both the presentation itself and the powerpoint presentation that accompanied the speaker (assuming they used a PowerPoint). As they become available, the presentations themselves will be made available through “I3 Online” – our new members-only section of IIUSA.org.
