Greenfire was proud to serve as the Opening Reception Sponsor at the Wisconsin Economic Development Association (WEDA)’s Governor’s Conference on Economic Development in Madison, WI. The Governor’s Conference is the largest annual economic development event in Wisconsin, bringing together public and private sector leaders to discuss the issues and opportunities shaping the state’s economic future.
The conference agenda includes sessions on workforce housing, entrepreneurship, manufacturing trends, technology in economic development, and other topics that affect communities of all sizes. It features a mix of keynotes, breakout discussions, networking breaks, and receptions – including the opening reception that Greenfire sponsored – designed to foster conversation and collaboration among attendees.
Greenfire attends the WEDA Governor’s Conference because economic development is central to our work. The event creates space for project teams, community leaders, developers, and economic professionals to compare strategies, share insights, and build relationships that support job creation and investment. It’s also a touchpoint for understanding the policy context and market conditions that affect regional growth.
Sponsoring the opening reception allowed Greenfire to support the conference’s networking goals. Receptions are where many meaningful conversations begin – from project collaborations to introductions that lead to future partnerships. For Greenfire, this aligns with our approach of engaging early and directly with stakeholders who impact community outcomes. Our presence reinforces commitments to listening, learning, and participating in the statewide dialogue on economic and community development.
We value the Governor’s Conference as an event that connects sectors, highlights trends, and strengthens Wisconsin’s economy. Greenfire looks forward to continued participation and to advancing shared goals with partners across the state.
