SARATOGA SPRINGS — The Center for Economic Growth announced the keynote speaker for its annual meeting to be held Nov. 2 at the Hall of Springs in Saratoga Springs: Robert Safian, editor and managing director of Fast Company.

He will speak on the meeting theme, “A Region Connected.”

CEG President Andrew Kennedy and CEG Board Chairwoman Laura Schweitzer will join him during the meeting, which also is a celebration of CEG’s 30th anniversary.

Registration is available online through Oct. 20. Tickets are $150 for CEG investors or $175 for general admission.

“We have a lot of exciting triumphs to celebrate at the annual meeting and thirtieth anniversary celebration,” said Kennedy. “From the development of CEG 30 years ago to the implementation of the investor model last year, each progression in our history has further connected us in the Capital Region and beyond.”

CEG is a nonprofit, regional economic and business development organization that serves as the primary point of contact for businesses interested in growing in or moving to the Capital Region.
