Event date/time: January 14, 2025 from 11:00 am – 2:00 pm

Location: UW Fluno Center Skyview Room, 601 University Ave, Madison, WI (this is an In-person only event).

Join MITA at our 15th Annual Global Economic Forecast Conference to look into the future of the global economy.

As a new year dawns, leaving behind one of the most tumultuous in U.S. election history, business leaders around the globe will be looking for guidance on what to expect from 2025 and beyond. Is your business positioned for the future? Are you ready for the “new normal” of international business influenced by the upcoming new policies that will impact the U.S. trade and the supply chain?

MITA’s annual Economic Forecast Summit will provide a glimpse into what may lie ahead for the US and the global economy.

At this MITA flagship event, two renowned economists will provide insights into the U.S. and global economy.
