Recent reports indicate economic trends are moving in a modest upward direction. How does Vermont measure up? Join us at the Vermont Economic Conference to understand global and national perspectives as well as state economic trends impacting the year ahead. The new report, A Vision for Vermont’s Economy, will also be presented by the Vermont Futures Project showcasing strategic growth targets for Vermont beyond 2017.
Over lunch, the newly sworn in Governor will discuss economic priorities and how the legislature will impact the growth trends. This will be the Governor’s first public appearance where attendees will have the opportunity to ask the Governor questions directly.
This event is attended by more than 300 business people, government officials, non-profit managers, and trade association leaders with a focus on the real estate, finance, and insurance industries. The Vermont Chamber will market this event to our network of small and medium sized businesses throughout the state. This conference is designed to provide a solid economic foundation for attendees to use in their daily work throughout the year.
