SUMMARY:2022 Economic Luncheon: The Future of Technology & Economy
DESCRIPTION:Technology & Economy\n\nThe Covid pandemic has brought into sharp focus the interconnectedness of technology and the daily machinations of our economy. Now more than ever we are doing business on-line and in a virtual world. But do our communities have the infrastructure to continue to grow in these areas? What can we glean from trends in consumer spending? How has the world of property development (including design & construction) been impacted? And how can the arts contribute to navigating this world?\n\n \n\nAt a hyper-local level\, small businesses cannot predict current consumer trends\, struggling business owners don't know how to reposition themselves\, and thriving businesses are unnerved\, not able to predict risks nor plan for them.\n\n \n\nWhere is our economy at right now and where will we be in the next 5\,10 or 20 years?\n\n \n\nPanel Discussion\n\nThis panel discussion will take a deep dive into understanding current trends in areas of key economic indicators - purchasing power\, construction & development and broadband infrastructure. Our facilitator will delve into how these areas are interconnected and weave through the insight and potency of an arts perspective on our new reality.\n\nWe have curated a panel of visionary leaders for a discussion on the future of our economy and the role of technology.\n\n\n\n\n\nCLICK HERE to access the bios of each speaker.\n\n \n\nHow can I attend? \n\nLocal business leaders and entrepreneurs attend this annual event for its networking and coverage of timely topics affecting the economy and the local business community.\n\n\n\nTickets can be purchased individually or in tables of 10. \n\nHow can I sponsor this event? \n\nThis event puts your brand front and center at a gathering of ~170 area business and civic leaders. Your sponsorship gets tickets to the event and grants access to this group in an intimate and relaxed setting.\n\nTo learn more about the sponsorship levels and what each includes\, CLICK HERE.\n\nPlease contact Liz Holt (lholt@oprfchamber.org) if you are interested in sponsoring this event.\n\nHow can I volunteer? \n\nWe always need volunteers to make our events fabulous! We have limited opportunities for the Economic Luncheon. If you would like to be added to the waitlist for volunteering at this event\, please contact Kelsang Chogo (kchogo@oprfchamber.org).
