2025 Impact Conference—November 19
Where insight meets opportunity—and where leaders come together to build what’s next.
Registration Opens September 15!
The 2025 Impact Conference, powered by Providence Health Plan, is Central Oregon’s premier gathering for business leaders, decision-makers, and community builders to gain valuable economic insights and understand the latest trends impacting the business community and the region.
Guiding the program will be emcee Diana Cutaia, Executive Coach and founder of Coaching Peace,
whose energy and insight will keep the day moving with purpose.
We’ll kick off the morning with a special address from state leadership, bringing a direct perspective from Salem on Oregon’s priorities for business and growth.
From there, we’ll dive into a comprehensive economic outlook with extended sessions from two engaging and trusted economists:
- Damon Runberg Senior Economist at Business Oregon, breaks down the statewide and regional picture.
- Tim Mahedy Founder and chief economist at Access/Macro, offers insights into national and global trends
The conversation then shifts to a fast-paced Power Round series, featuring:
- Andreas Muller-Schubert international AI keynote speaker, explores how AI is transforming industries and jobs.
- John Tapogna Senior Policy Advisor for ECOnorthwest
- Sara Odendahl Bend Chamber Interim CEO, shares what the newly formed Regional Business Alliance partnership means for Central Oregon’s future.
