According to the predictions of leading economists, in 2010 the United States' economic recovery will be well under way. As our country - and the rest of the world - emerges from this perfect storm of 2008 and 2009, we will undoubtedly encounter a landscape that has been vastly altered.

The old ways of doing business and making deals will no longer be relevant and likely be replaced by more innovative approaches. While caution appears to be the buzzword - affecting everything from credit markets to consumer spending to corporate expansion - history shows us that even in these difficult conditions, success is achieved by forward-thinking entrepreneurs and others willing to think outside the box.

Join IEDC in Columbus, Ohio, September 26-29 for the world's largest gathering of economic developers as we discuss the new paradigms of economic development: new tools, new uses, new ventures, and new directions.
