2025 Triangle Regional Networking Luncheon, presented by Duke Energy

What's Ahead for 2026: Priorities, Partnerships, and Progress

Mark your calendars for December 4 and join us for the NCEDA Annual Triangle Regional Holiday Networking Luncheon! This signature event is a wonderful way to wrap up the year - connecting with fellow members, sharing holiday cheer, and celebrating the successes of 2025.

In addition to great networking and a festive atmosphere, we’re thrilled to welcome Chris Chung from the EDPNC and Susan Fleetwood from the NC Department of Commerce for an engaging, in-depth conversation on North Carolina’s economic development landscape. They’ll discuss current priorities, the collaborative efforts driving growth across the state, and emerging opportunities for 2026 and beyond.

Don’t miss this opportunity to connect, learn, and celebrate with your NCEDA colleagues at one of our most anticipated events of the year!

NCEDA has reserved a small block of rooms at the Hilton North Hills - the same location as the luncheon - for the nights of December 3 and 4. The special NCEDA rate is $169 per night, and the room block will close on Friday, November 7. Click HERE to make a reservation!
