Site Selectors Guild Fall Forum

Exclusive Opportunity for One-On-One Networking

     Join us at the 2025 Fall Forum with the Site Selectors Guild –                 Indianapolis Awaits!

Mark your calendar and prepare for an unparalleled experience at the 2025 Fall Forum with the Site Selectors Guild taking place in the vibrant heart of Indianapolis, Indiana! This is your exclusive opportunity to connect directly with the world’s top location strategy experts, economic developers, and business leaders shaping the future of site selection and global investment. At the request of economic developers seeking more one-on-one access to site selectors, the Fall Forum is about half the size of the Guild’s Annual Conference and boasts a ratio of eight economic developers to one site selector. Approximately half of the Guild’s members attend this event, creating a smaller, more close-knit conference atmosphere.

From October 1st – 3rd, 2025, the Forum will bring together the brightest minds in the industry for dynamic panel discussions, interactive roundtables, and high-impact networking sessions—all designed to spark new ideas, foster meaningful connections, and drive real results.  And, with Indy’s world-class hospitality, rich culture, and unbeatable Midwestern charm as your backdrop, this year’s Forum promises to be as inspiring as it is impactful.

New for 2025: Book a One-on-One with a Guild Member!

We are thrilled to introduce an exclusive new opportunity at the 2025 Fall Forum — the chance to schedule a private, one-on-one session with a Site Selectors Guild Member.  Whether you are looking for expert insight, strategic advice, or personalized feedback, these sessions offer direct access to some of the most experienced minds in site selection. Spots will be determined based on a lottery of those who register and pay by August 1st.

We will see you in Indianapolis!
