Breakfast Networking and Presentation:

The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly by Dr. Anirban Basu

Join us for February's networking event! Enjoy a delicious breakfast and insightful presentation by Dr. Anirban Basu. 

Has the Federal Reserve successfully engineered a soft landing? Or, is the confluence of geopolitical conflict, a presidential election, rising consumer debt levels, and still high interest rates conspiring to produce an economic downturn in 2024?

It is difficult to know whether 2024 will be a good year – but one thing is clear – it will be a very interesting one.

You'll want to hear Dr. Basu's in-depth analysis of major factors shaping economic outcomes, including interest rates, global conflict, wage dynamics, business confidence, and demographics. You'll find out his forecast for the coming year, highlighting the major risks that economic stakeholders will likely encounter.
