and, new this year, policy and growth topics.
The Economic Session will kick off the conference with breakfast and introductions from Bend Chamber CEO Katy Brooks and an economic overview by State Economist for Business Oregon, Damon Runberg. We will transition to Keynote Dr. Megan Lawson, Senior Economist for Headwaters Economics.
After the Economic session, you will have a choice of attending one of the following breakout sessions: Real Estate, Hospitality, or Policy & Growth.
The Impact Conference aims to bring innovative thinking and resources to Central Oregon, encouraging our community’s economic growth and endurance. You will become more informed about how challenges globally and locally can be effectively addressed to position your businesses strategically and intentionally.
