Rise & Learn – Visit with Global Site Selectors

Grow Cedar Valley is excited to host three nationally recognized site selection consultants for a three-day visit to evaluate our region’s competitiveness in attracting both domestic and international businesses.

As part of their visit, these experts will share their candid impressions of Waterloo, Cedar Falls, and the Cedar Valley - offering unique insights drawn from conversations with community leaders and on-the-ground tours the day before.

You are invited to join us for this special Rise & Learn session to enjoy some breakfast while networking with your fellow professionals, get exclusive insights from these expert site selection consultants, and be part of the conversation about the Cedar Valley’s position on the global stage.

This is your chance to:

• Hear firsthand how our region measures up in today’s global marketplace
• Learn about current site selection trends and what companies are really looking for
• Gain perspective from consultants who advise Fortune 500 companies and industry leaders

• Brad Lindquist: Specializes in incentive negotiations and labor market evaluations, with clients in our target industries.
