Join BILD and SMPS for a discussion centered on the realities shaping Southern Arizona’s economic trajectory, with direct insight from the City of Tucson and Pima County.
This isn’t just a high-level overview or recap of the pillars that shape Southern Arizona’s economy. Instead, we’re opening the door to a more candid discussion about what’s driving growth in the region and what’s not, where deals are happening or why they aren’t, and what it takes to stay competitive in today’s economic and political landscapes.
Hear directly from City and County economic development leaders as they share perspectives on attracting and retaining business, navigating current challenges, and identifying what the region needs next to strengthen its position.
Equally important, this conversation turns outward, exploring how Arizona’s AEC and development community can play a more active role in supporting economic momentum and long-term viability.
Expect honest insights, practical perspectives, and a chance to connect across organizations invested in the region’s economic future.
