Missoula Economic Partnership productive at summit in Butte – Focus was on Big Data

The Missoula Economic Partnership team had a productive two days at the Montana Economic Development Summit in Butte last week, president James Grunke said.

Along with a strong presence of Missoula leaders who spoke on various panels, a set of strategic meetings were held behind the scenes with the heads of corporations like ConocoPhillips, Delta Air Lines and the Boeing Co., Grunke said.

"It’s going to do something for Missoula. We’re engaged," Grunke said. "We orchestrated key meetings that were key to Missoula."
