2026 UEDA Summit: University of West Florida in Pensacola

We're honored to connect with our fellow peers from across the country, gain insights from high-impact presentations, and take part in discussions designed to help you advance your organization’s mission and regional impact. The Summit also features finalist presentations from our annual Awards of Excellence competition, where attendees will determine category leaders amongst ground-breaking approaches to regional development.

Educators Will Turn Insight Into Impact:

1. Examine the cutting-edge practices of colleagues as they compete for Awards of Excellence and you judge the best of the best.

2. Share success stories and lessons learned with university-based economic development professionals throughout North America.

3. Build your network to uncover opportunities, form partnerships, and adapt proven approaches to your institution and community.
