The Business Outlook Luncheon at Berry College returns later this month.
The guest speaker will be Dr. Gary Wagner.
“He is on sabbatical from his very fancy chair down at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, said Lauren Heller, Dean of the Campbell School of Business at Berry. He is a friend and he’ll be coming to Berry to spend the week in residence, and as part of that, he will be giving the Business Outlook luncheon. He’s very well-versed in local economic conditions. He’s a true data guy, and I think he’ll provide a really great take that businesses can really use.”
The luncheon is on January 29 in the Krannert Center Ballroom.
“We will welcome our business colleagues in the community at 11:30,” Heller said. “There will be some time for some informal networking so everybody can see each other and talk about business a little bit. Then at 12, we will have lunch where Dr. Wagner will be talking about this sort of local economic forecast for our area, both locally and nationally.”
Berry business students will be at every table.
“They will be in professional dress and are excited to talk to our business leaders,” Heller added. “So, I would encourage you to attend the luncheon. I’d also encourage you to reach out to the business students with whom you’ll be interacting. I think you will be very impressed at our students and their engagement with the community.”
Tickets for the Business Outlook Luncheon are $30 each or $300 for a table. You can register via the Rome-Floyd Chamber of Commerce website at romega.com.
The original deadline for registration was Tuesday, but it has been extended so you will want to sign up as soon as possible.
