Attracting Talent, Empowering Growth: Marketing Greater Madison’s Future

With low unemployment, high workforce participation and accelerated population growth, Greater Madison is having a moment – perhaps THE moment. Yet with these tailwinds come challenges, most notably in meeting the demand for skilled workers. Erik will discuss the business community’s role in marketing our region to the next generation of talent, as well as the work already underway toward accomplishing that goal.

Join us for an unforgettable evening as Erik from the Chamber of Commerce discusses Greater Madison’s pivotal moment and the strategies for attracting the next generation of talent.

This event also marks the bittersweet farewell to our beloved Craft Marketing series, with special thanks to Greg Mischio from Winbound for his unwavering support. Whether you’re here for Erik’s insights at 4:30 PM or joining us at 5:30 PM for a celebration of Craft Marketing’s legacy, your presence will make this final chapter truly memorable.

Let’s honor the impact of Craft Marketing, express gratitude to Greg Mischio, and toast to the bright future ahead!
