IPT has had such an exciting fall. We wrapped up the Credits & Incentives Symposium in October; it was a fantastic event. Many attendees took full advantage of the beautiful Tucson location, with some playing golf and others joining a guided hike in the stunning Arizona landscape. The Symposium kicked off with an optional Credits & Incentives Bootcamp, a refresher course on C&I principles, setting a solid foundation for the discussions that followed.

One of the highlights was Chuck Gallagher's riveting presentation on AI, which sparked meaningful conversations about its impact on our field. We also welcomed representatives from four State Economic Development Agencies who provided valuable updates on tax credits and business incentives available in their states, giving attendees insights directly from key stakeholders.

On Monday evening, we shared a special moment with a Tequila toast, following the traditional salute: "Arriba, Abajo, al Centro, al Dentro, Salud!" (Up, down, out, in—cheers!). It was a memorable evening celebrating camaraderie and shared purpose.

A heartfelt thank you goes to our committee for their outstanding work organizing the program, led by Chair Melissa Wiseman, Co-Vice Chairs Tim Parrish and Ben Weisfuse. I also thank the attendees for bringing the energy, and the speakers and the state representatives for delivering top-notch content. You can see some highlights from the Symposium below.

Since we’ve now wrapped up this year’s Credits & Incentives programs, I want to extend a special thank you to everyone who contributed their time and expertise to our Credits & Incentives planning committees. Please see below for a list of those who served on these committees and for the dates and locations of our upcoming 2025 Credits & Incentives programs. We look forward to building on this success in the year ahead!

Thank you for being a part of IPT!
