Registration is open for Routt County’s 31st annual Economic Summit, scheduled for 8 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Friday, May 9 at Colorado Mountain College in Steamboat Springs.
Organized by the Steamboat Springs Chamber, Routt County Economic Development Partnership and CMC, this event brings together diverse stakeholders to explore the local and regional economic landscape.
Justin Farrell, Yale professor and writer on nature and American culture, will headline the event with insights from his book, “Billionaire Wilderness.”
“Through his data-driven research on rural economies and socioeconomic diversity, Dr. Farrell has sparked conversations that lead to meaningful collaboration in rural communities across the West,” said John Bristol, executive director of Routt County Economic Development Partnership, in a statement.
This year’s summit features new sessions on transportation, economic resilience and perspectives from the city of Aspen. Additional highlights include a legislative update and a panel on banking and lending.
Tickets are currently priced at $90 for Chamber members and $140 for non-members before fees, with a price increase scheduled for May 3.
