The West Central Mountains Economic Development Council is proud to host our 9th Annual Regional Economic Summit on Thursday, November 12, 2026, at the Elk Creek Celebration Center, 14102 ID-55, McCall. We will conclude the day with a networking social at The Cedars Lounge, a new cozy space in the remodeled Evergreen Hotel, located at 210 N 3rd St, McCall.
We are excited for this year’s theme, which will explore the intersection of community, recreation, tourism, stewardship, and economic vitality. The day will bring together local, regional, and statewide perspectives on visitation, public lands, public/private partnerships, destination management, workforce, communication, and the shared responsibility of caring for the special places that support both our communities and our economy.
Programming Highlights:
- Statewide and regional recreation and tourism updates
- Perspectives on destination management and community stewardship
- Conversations about public lands, partnerships, and shared responsibility
- Local hospitality and recreation voices
- Practical breakout sessions where attendees will get to choose their own adventure and engage
- Opportunities to connect with leaders, businesses, organizations, and residents from across the region
The day will conclude with our networking social event at The Cedars Lounge, offering attendees another opportunity to connect and continue the conversation.
Whether you are a business owner, community leader, nonprofit partner, public official, employee, resident, or simply someone invested in the future of the West Central Mountains, we hope you’ll join us.
