Shaping Tomorrow: How Economic Policies Will Impact our Region

This year’s Economic Roundtable will explore how recent elections, both in San Diego and nationwide, will shape our economy. It will discuss the potential impacts of these elections, featuring expert economists who will analyze how policy changes could influence jobs, businesses and opportunities in our region and beyond.

Our keynote speaker, financial and economic educator Kyla Scanlon (@kylascan) will introduce her innovative concept known as the “Vibesession,” where she will explore the emotional and psychological factors that influence our financial decisions and economic behaviors.
