This web-based presentation series provides educational programming to support downtown and business district economic development. Six sessions are planned annually with high quality presentations by state and national experts.
Participants who attend the webinars at a regional group site stay after the presentation for discussion and networking. Alternatively, individuals may login from their own location. To participate, all that is needed is an Internet connection and separate telephone (audio) line.
A variety of topics have been present since the start of the series in 2009. All sessions are archived online for viewing under “webinars” at CCED’s website for use offline can be purchased through the UW-Coop Extension Learning Store.
