It wouldn’t be Impact Conference without economic insights—Damon Runberg, Economist with Business Oregon, will provide the latest on what’s happening locally.
New for 2024—Power Rounds
Experience an updated format featuring Power Rounds replacing breakout sessions. Power Rounds are short, fast-paced, and information-rich talks from national experts. Best of all, you will experience both Power Rounds—no choosing which one to go to or which one to miss.
Our Power Round topics will focus on housing during high growth with Mike Kingsella, CEO of Up for Growth, and what to expect from federal interest rate changes presented by Tim Mahedy, Founder and Chief Economist, Access/Macro.
