The conference will explore opportunities to diversify Nevada's economy by examining similar efforts in nearby states. Panelists include leaders in energy, education, gaming and business.

The result of Nevada 2.0 will be a series of short- and long-term steps to promote economic diversification in the state. It starts a bigger conversation that will help Nevada outline the strategic investments and policy changes needed to develop and sustain a vastly more diversified state economy.
