This workshop explores the ingredients and impact of globalization in our communities and region. Participants will be able to explore the demographic, development and economic factors that will determine the competitive advantage of local places in an increasingly global world. We’ll review the vertical and horizontal global networks and current trends affecting our region, including the region’s role in the global economy. We’ll discuss strategies for coping with the challenges and maximizing the opportunities of increased competition and interconnectivity in the global economy that impact communities, local government, the region and the state.
