County Breakfast Conversations to Explore Growth in Greater Philadelphia

Next month kicks off our annual County Breakfast Conversations, a forum that will explore the emerging opportunities throughout Greater Philadelphia that are changing where we live and work, and positioning our region as an attractive and competitive place to do business.

In its 7^th year, County Breakfast Conversations will visit eight counties throughout northern Delaware, southern New Jersey, and southeastern Pennsylvania. Each breakfast will examine the latest developments within that county and highlight how those initiatives are driving local economic development and accelerating regional growth. Some of these new initiatives include innovative technology, entrepreneurship, and redevelopment projects.

Through panel discussions moderated by Tracey Matisak, WHYY Host, attendees will have the opportunity to hear from key county leaders including business executives, economic developers, and policy officials, as they discuss their involvement in our region's growth. Additionally, Select Greater Philadelphia will provide an update on its progress as it relates to each county's topic.

The first breakfast will take place in Montgomery County on Thursday, September 23 at the Blue Bell Country Club, and will explore how technological innovation is driving growth in that county and in the region. Check out our website in the near future for updated information on the Montgomery County Breakfast, as well as other upcoming breakfasts including Chester, New Castle and Philadelphia counties. Each breakfast in the series is free of charge to Chamber members.

County Breakfast Conversations is sponsored by Wachovia, a Wells Fargo Company. Technology support at each breakfast will be provided by IMS Audio Visual.
