Business & Economic Outlook

Economic and Policy Update – What to Expect in 2026 and Beyond

Date: Wednesday, September 30, 2026
Time: 10:00 AM - 3:30 PM

Despite all the uncertainty and volatility around geopolitical events and US trade and tax policy, the economy weathered 2025 relatively well. Now that the One Big Beautiful Bill Act has been signed into law and tariffs on most of America’s trade partners are in effect, can a similar performance be expected in 2026?

The latest economic data suggests growth is stable, inflation is moderating, and the labor market is bending but not breaking. What does this mean for the FED’s policy on interest rates moving forward?  Will we see a boost to investment and a rebound in confidence, or will 2026 bring more of the same? More specifically, what are key leading indicators telling us about the direction of the economy?

This presentation will assess the current macroeconomic landscape and deliver practical and actionable advice designed to help industry leaders plan for future operating conditions.

Attendees will walk away from the session with the following insights:

  • An objective assessment of time-sensitive economic indicators such as consumer spending, business investment, inflation, interest rates, and tariffs 
  • Concrete advice on how to navigate the current macroeconomic climate and plan for the future, with a particular focus on tactical advice
  • Tools that leaders can leverage to be data-driven decision makers for their organizations
