Economic Luncheon
Did you know???
We have had an anonymous benefactor who generously donated to help keep the costs down for this event. Due to the increase in wages and food, the ticket prices have gone up a little bit this year. But, this donation has allowed us to keep the prices very close to previous year's events.
|
|
Sponsor a Table!
Join us this month for the return of our Economic Luncheon! There are very limited Sponsorship opportunities available for your business at this popular event. Make sure to register and reserve your space today.

The panelists have been announced!
We have curated a panel of visionary leaders to come together for casual discussion on the future of our economy and the role of technology.
|
|
This panel discussion will take a deep dive into understanding current trends in areas of key economic indicators - purchasing power, construction & development and broadband infrastructure. The moderator will delve into how these areas are interconnected and weave through the insight and potency from a communications perspective.
