Economic Development Australia (EDA) invites you to be part of the 2025 National Economic Development Conference (NEDC25). This is the flagship event for EDA, the national peak body for economic development professionals. EDA represents over 2000 members, many of whom will be familiar with your organisation and would welcome the opportunity to connect with you at the premier economic development annual event.
With the theme, Shaping Tomorrow’s Economy, NEDC25 will showcase the transformative forces reshaping industries and communities, from technological advancements and climate change to shifting demographics and evolving investment trends. Through in-depth discussions and expert-led panels, we will examine strategies for fostering economic growth, attracting investment, and building adaptive, future-ready economies.
NEDC attracts delegates from every part of the economic development ecosystem including but not limited to, economic developers, urban-shapers, policymakers, economists, place makers, industry development, investment attraction, innovation and cluster specialists. This broad cross section of experts will gather to discuss how to navigate the evolving global landscape and build resilient, sustainable, and inclusive local economies for the future.
Last year saw NEDC hit a new level of success, selling out over a month in advance. The incredible feedback, engagement which continued for several weeks after the program proves that NEDC offers sponsors a level of authentic and impactful connection with the economic development sector not provided by any other event in Australia.
This year’s prospectus offers a vast array of opportunities to position your organisation strongly at this premier conference. The packages outlined in this prospectus are by no means exhaustive, and our dedicated EDA team will be delighted to tailor a package to meet your marketing objectives and budget.
We sincerely hope you will consider joining us in the city of Newcastle on the traditional lands of the Awabakal and Worimi people as we celebrate Shaping Tomorrow’s Economy in one of the Australia’s most exciting and transformative regions.
