Since 2002 the Oregon Business Plan has been the state’s principal economic development forum, bringing together leaders from business, government, and nonprofit sectors to consider policies and initiatives to improve Oregon’s economy and life. In pursuit of Shared Prosperity, our strategic vision for the 2020s, the goals we advocate are to grow wages, increase the share of Oregonians working, grow household wealth, and increase economic mobility across Oregon’s diverse communities and geography.
The Business Plan has helped Oregon navigate two recessions and shape policy for a range of issues. Now we face the challenge of seizing opportunities for long-term, equitably shared prosperity.
Join us for the 24th annual Oregon Business Plan Leadership Summit on Monday, December 7 as Oregon’s business, civic, and community leaders come together to confront the challenges that will define our state’s future. The Summit will run from 8:30 a.m. – 4 p.m. at the Oregon Convention Center with a reception to follow. The day will feature two rounds of breakout sessions, allowing participants to dive deeper into these critical issues and collaborate on innovative solutions.
Oregon has named its challenges. We are confronting the data, facing the headlines, and acknowledging what is not working. Now we must act on what we know. Reckoning & Renewal demands both — the courage to look without flinching and the will to build what comes next. This is where our comfort zones get challenged, coalitions disrupted and rebuilt, and the commitment to act becomes non-negotiable. The renewal can not happen without the reckoning. This is where both begin.
Registration is now open! Secure your spot early and join us for this crucial conversation. Together, we can confront challenges, leverage Oregon’s strengths, and ignite the spirit of renewal.
