The Minnesota Real Estate Journal has hosted thousands of people to Bakken Summits in major cities across the USA. Now, Williston Economic Development is partnering with them to hold a similar event right in the Bakken and will provide an opportunity for business, developers and investors nationwide to see the Bakken firsthand. The “Williston Summit” is a three-day event that will be held September 3-5 in Williston.
“The Williston Summit will be a tremendous opportunity to develop a “Bakken Network” and to learn more about the growth in the region and future plans and investments in and around the community of Williston,” says Tom Rolfstad, Director of Williston Economic Development.
Wednesday’s seminars will feature some of the most sought after experts in their particular fields and include growth projections (oil production, pipeline, electrical power production, community growth trends and population); major new investments in railroad facilities; business opportunities in the Bakken; city and county planning processes; community development (health care, education, planning, transportation, parks and rec, downtown); investment opportunities; and retail expansion in the Williston area.
“While the Bakken is making the country energy independent, we are busy building a community that will not only handle the quantity of people required, but to also do this in a fashion that will provide the quality of life that families seek in locating into a new community”, says Rolfstad.
Registration and a social/get aquainted mixer will be held Tuesday at 5 p.m. at the Williston Brewing Company. A full day of seminars will be held Wednesday at the Grand Williston Hotel and Conference Center followed by a dinner at the Williston Brewing Company.
Participants will also have an opportunity to play in a networking scramble golf tournament on Thursday at the nationally ranked “Links of North Dakota”. The registration deadline for the tournament is August 27th. The tournament has active sponsors at every hole.
The Williston Summit is an invitation only event. To request an invitation, send an email with information about your business or organization to [email protected].
