EDCO's Industry Month
 Just three years from inception, Industry Week has grown to Industry Month, thanks to many partners and the support and enthusiasm of Central Oregon's business community. The month long forum recognizes and celebrates contributions of the tri-county area's traded-sector employers, often the unsung heroes of our local economy. Events provide meaningful workshops and conferences designed to address prominent issues facing these companies and business in general. CLICK HERE for an updated calendar of events.
