KNOW BEFORE YOU GO
Where is the Goodwill Opportunity Center?
5000 San Mateo Blvd NE 87109 – This is off San Mateo, just South of McLeod Rd.
Please park to the north side of the parking lot and look for the side that says SERVICES above the door – that’s where you’ll want to be!
There is a lobby and Goodwill has asked that guests sign in at the reception desk before heading into the training room.
Can I bring a guest?
In-person seats are limited at this event (and already sold out!). Every person who wants to join us in-person must have already registered as so.
We will also be live streaming this event through a ZOOM Webinar and we welcome everyone still looking to attend to join us online! If you know someone who is interested, please direct them to register online at www.abq.org/events.

What’s included in my registration?
- A deep dive into all things Economic Development! Attendees will end the day with an advanced understanding of the economic development profession, what it means to build a regional economy, how we are executing this work day-to-day, and even some practical application skills.
