Our nation, communities and businesses continue to grapple with a tight labor market, foreign conflict, challenges related to inflation and elevated interest rates, and significant economic uncertainty as we look to 2024. The Midwest Economic Outlook Summit on February 22 will serve as a crucial platform for economic experts, leaders across various industries, and policymakers from across the nation to convene in Fargo Moorhead West Fargo for a timely and comprehensive discussion on the current and future state of our economy.

This is an opportunity to learn more about where our regional and national economies are headed, examine significant trends, discuss the major challenges that might lay ahead, understand how our businesses can stay agile and respond to this evolving environment.
