F*cking off to the USofA

Well, it had to happen eventually. Someone would have to decide that they needed to learn more from ED practice overseas and they would choose me to go there!

Off to the US to the IEDC annual conference in Chicago which should be fun. Never been to the windy city but it looks fantastic.

Then off to talk to some folks about business support in another major US city. Again interesting.

The Americans aren't as much into enterprise support as we are here. Apparently its a bit of a fledgling thing to move beyond land use planning and fiscal incentives.

Anyhow will post any interesting tidbits.
