Welcome to Economic Development Network

The Economic Development Network works to create opportunities for practitioners to flourish within a supportive professional environment. 
 
We do this in three ways:

  • provide forums for practitioners to exchange ideas and views 

  • provide opportunities to acquire skills and experience 

  • present brief and targeted value for money workshops for practitioners at convenient locations 

EDN is about regular networking with fellow practitioners and genuine life long learning.
