Mid-America Economic Development Corporation Holds Annual Site Selector Dinner During the Competitiveness Conference
Exclusive event allowed sponsors of the conference to network with site selector consultants and real estate professionals

CHICAGO, IL, December 09, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- MAEDC's Annual Site Selector Dinner was held at Harry Caray's Restaurant in downtown Chicago on Monday evening. The event was the ideal size and provided just the right atmosphere for networking, socializing, and toasting the sponsors and successes of the past year. This exclusive annual event, held in conjunction with MAEDC's annual Competitiveness Conference & Site Selector Forum, was established as an additional benefit for MAEDC gold and platinum sponsors. The goal was to offer a more targeted opportunity for the sponsors to network with their colleagues, as well as with and site selection consultants and real estate professionals who spoke at the conference.

Brian Vasa from Nebraska Public Power District and Teresa Nortillo from Kansas Department of Commerce were the emcees of the evening. Brian and Teresa focused on allowing one-on-one networking, as well as facilitated a networking activity. The activity/game allowed the economic development professionals in attendance to display the traits that make them successful in their field; competitiveness, careful planning, and as Kathryn Kunert from MidAmerican Energy may attest to, a certain 'outside-of-the-box' thinking. Much like the MAEDC's annual Competitiveness Conference sessions, panels and speakers, the Site Selector Dinner successfully connected professionals in the industry with practitioners in the field of economic development.
