Exploring Innovation in Community Development

In April 2009, the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis hosted Exploring Innovation: A Conference on Community Development. This year the theme of the conference was Innovation in Changing Times.

Changing economic conditions are presenting unique challenges to those in the community development field. The 2009 Exploring Innovation conference focused on resiliency, sustainability and innovations that help organizations and communities survive—and, more importantly, thrive—during these unprecedented times.

Exploring Innovation is
• the best experience for anyone interested in a comprehensive view of community development,
• a fun atmosphere that will help unleash ideas,
• a unique learning opportunity where participants are engaged before, during and after the conference,
• a place to hear real stories of transformation,
• just what communities need right now.
