Placemaking 10.20: Virtual Reality in Economic Development

This was a fun one.

A few weeks ago, I caught up with my friend from the Economic Development trail Aaron Brossoit, CEO of Golden Shovel, an agency focused on virtual and augmented reality in the economic development space.

He spoke to the industry as a whole and its quickly-evolving applications for EDOs and IPAs.

Listen here for the highlights of our conversation, where we cover:

• Where we are in the adoption of virtual reality in economic development.
• Frontrunners in the economic development space adopting these technologies.
• The impact of COVID: by some predictions, it will be 2024 before we're back to our beloved "normal" in the space of meetings, site tours, and economic development activity visits.
