SUMMARY:October 2026 Luncheon
DESCRIPTION:2026 West Des Moines Chamber Luncheon\n\nEconomic Forecast Luncheon: A Crystal Ball into What's Next\n\nIn times of uncertainty\, the leaders who win are the ones who plan ahead.\n\nJoin the West Des Moines Chamber of Commerce for our highly anticipated and always sold-out Economic Forecast Luncheon\, where nationally and regionally respected experts break down what the future may hold for the economy locally\, statewide\, nationally\, and globally.\n\nThis annual luncheon provides a rare opportunity to hear clear-eyed analysis\, informed projections\, and data-driven insights that help business leaders\, entrepreneurs\, and decision-makers prepare for what's ahead. From interest rates and workforce trends to global forces shaping local impact\, our speakers offer a thoughtful "crystal ball" view designed to help you navigate risk\, identify opportunity\, and plan with confidence.\n\nWhether you're setting budgets\, guiding strategy\, or making investment decisions\, this luncheon delivers the perspective leaders need to stay one step ahead.\n\n  Why This Luncheon Matters\n\n\n	\n	Hear from trusted economic experts and forecasters\n	\n	\n	Understand trends impacting business\, workforce\, and growth\n	\n	\n	Gain insight into regional\, state\, national\, and global forces\n	\n	\n	Walk away with clarity to inform planning and decision-making\n	\n	\n	Network with top CEOs and business leaders across the region\n	\n\n\n   This luncheon consistently sells out. Prior registration is highly recommended to guarantee your seat.\n\nBecause the future doesn't wait and neither should your strategy.\n\n\n\n\n\nDisclaimer: Day-of/onsite registration will incur a $10 upcharge and is subject to availability if seats remain. The registration deadline is 10/14/25. While some seats may still be available on the day of the event\, we encourage early registration to secure your spot and avoid additional charges.\n\nMedia Recording: When you attend a West Des Moines Chamber of Commerce event\, photography\, audio\, and video recording may occur.
