Creative Economy Seminars

Sponsored by the Prince Edward/Lennox & Addington CFDC and Ontario East Economic Development Commission

The Monieson Centre facilitates research on the knowledge economy. Our winter 2010 seminars focus on economic transformation, as businesses rely less on physical labour and routinized tasks, and compete increasingly using talent and technology. The series focuses on Ontario in the Creative Age, exploring how rural businesses and communities need not get left behind. To receive information on upcoming seminars and/or to confirm your attendance, contact monieson@business.queensu.ca. Please join us for a meet and greet 15 minutes prior to each seminar.
