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.
This year marks the 23rd annual Leadership Summit! Save the date and join us on December 8th at the Oregon Convention Center to renew the collaborative effort between Oregon’s business, community, and elected leaders.
This year’s event will focus on economic development opportunities for the state. Following the plenary session, another iteration of the Food Forward reception will celebrate Oregon’s vibrant food and beverage industry.
Registration opens in October. Stay tuned for further updates.
