Event Overview

As we begin the year 2023, inflation is down, but that is the end of the good economic news. The threat of a recession still looms which could result in job losses and budget cutbacks that will bring pain to many Americans.

How long would this recession last? What populations will suffer the most? What areas of the economy will be most affected and which ones will be resilient? And how will new political realities affect policy and legislation both at the federal and state levels?

We will discuss all that with our expert panel in a Q&A session and invite our media to have their questions ready for the conversation.
