On behalf of the Pennsylvania Economic Development Association (PEDA), you're invited to PEDA's annual Fall Conference coming to Hershey from October 6-8th. A strong program has been developed and we are proud to have attracted some outstanding and widely recognized speakers, including keynote Jim George. 
 
The Hershey Harrisburg Regional Visitors Bureau  reports that Hershey Harrisburg recently placed 5th in Forbes magazine's rankings of "America's Most Livable Cities".  Additionally, the region ranked 13th in RelocateAmerica's "Top 100 Places to Live" and 3rd in last year's rankings of top minor league sports markets by Street and Smith's Sports Business Journal.  And these awards are only the tip of the iceburg.  We hope you'll join us this October and learn more at the conference website!     
Room rates for this conference have been negotiated to a discounted rate of $179/night for single or double accommodations and free parking is included. To make a reservation, please contact the Hershey® Lodge* directly at (717) 533-3311 or (800) 533-3131 on or before July 27, 2014 and identify yourself as an attendee of the 2014 Pennsylvania Economic Development Association Fall Conference room block.  After this deadline - or once capacity has been reached - reservations will be accepted upon availability at prevailing hotel rates.
