Staff is proposing <br />attending three BisNow events in lieu of the CapRate events. The BisNow events will also include <br />participation in market visits, scheduled with DEED. The market visits offers one-on-one meetings with <br />site selectors. <br /> <br />Sponsorships: <br />In January, the EDA sponsored the annual EDAM winter conference in St. Louis Park. Amanda <br />promoted the city in a two minute presentation and introduced the conference’s keynote speaker. Staff <br />will again sponsor and participate in the EDAM summer conference, which will be held this year in <br />Nisswa. These events offer educational opportunities and networking with other economic development <br />professionals from around the state. Staff is working with the MN Real Estate Journal on a sponsorship <br />package that will offer opportunities to exhibit and present at a couple of their events. <br /> <br />Financial Impact <br />Funding for trade shows, marketing and advertising are included in the 2018 budget. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br /> 2018 Lead Forensics <br />th <br /> 2017 4 Quarter Google Analytics Report <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
