With interest rates up, stock markets down and inflation rising, local businesses and entrepreneurs are looking for new opportunities to boost growth, create jobs and secure investment.

Attendees at the Northwest Florida Economic Summit, scheduled for October 17 and 18 at the Destin-Ft Walton Beach Convention Center, will join Congressman Neal Dunn, leaders of local Chambers of Commerce and Regional Economic Development Alliances and Partnerships, to explore how billions of dollars in State and Federal funds, contracts and investments can be accessed to drive the region's economic growth.

"Congressman Dunn has long been a champion of economic development in our region," said Summit Chairman William Loiry. "We are delighted to welcome him to the Summit and have his support on helping local businesses grow and thrive in Northwest Florida."

The Summit is supported by Florida's Great Northwest, the 16-county Northwest Florida initiative marketing the region as a globally competitive location for business to create new jobs and investment. Jennifer Conoley, President & CEO of Florida's Great Northwest, is one of the Summit's Keynote Speakers.
