Austin Chamber of Commerce's annual economic forecast with keynote speaker Guhan Venkatu from the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas.
Trends, Forecasts, & the Forces Behind Them lands at the Fairmont Austin on Thursday, December 17, as the Austin Chamber's annual economic outlook. It's the kind of session that pairs hard data with a leading economist to decode the shifting market landscape and point toward emerging opportunities, and this year's keynote is Guhan Venkatu.
Venkatu is a veteran of the Federal Reserve system. He joined the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland in 1998 as a research analyst and worked his way up through economist, vice president, and group vice president roles, with research focused on inflation, mortgage markets, and regional economic growth. He also served as senior principal and senior policy advisor in the Cleveland Fed's Research Department. He's now the Vice President and Regional Executive for Austin & Central Texas at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, so he's talking about our own backyard.
He won't be the only voice in the room. The session includes panelists Tracy Ayrhart and Sam Susser, who'll join him to round out the conversation. Between the keynote and the panel, the morning is built around the same core: looking at the numbers and figuring out what they actually mean for the local economy.
