Description

Virtual Table Talk takes the Guild’s most popular networking session online, giving economic development professionals the opportunity to connect with several Guild members in a short amount of time. Similar to in-person Table Talk sessions, there is no agenda – just free-flowing conversation and a chance to build relationships with site selection consultants and gather industry intelligence. Registration opens to Guild Partners on September 28, 2026. Public Registration opens on October 4, 2026.

Maximize Your ROI with A Dedicated Room

Private rooms allow economic developers to have one-on-one conversations with the seven Guild members they meet during Virtual Table Talk.

Your private room accommodates up to seven seats. Invite teammates and partners, or keep the room to yourself. Either way, you’ll be able to have private conversations with seven Guild members focused solely on your community.

Additional Benefits

• Ability to request the top 3 participating Guild members with whom you would like to meet (we will aim to match you with two of your requests, granted on a first-come, first-served basis). 
• Access to share your screen in your private breakout room
• Advance access to the list of Guild members you are scheduled to meet (subject to change)
