The Economic Outlook Luncheon showcases economic experts who will share valuable information about both current events and the future of the region’s economy. It also provides business leaders an opportunity to network with peers.

Our keynote speaker, Elliot Eisenberg from GraphsandLaughs, will share his thoughts on how all four parts of GDP will perform, what changes are in store for the currently tight labor market, the path of inflation, the thinking of the Fed regarding inflation, the most likely path of interest rates, and the still rising likelihood of a recession.
