Free webinar from the Pacific Northwest Regional Economic Conference
ECONOMIC OUTLOOK: PACIFIC NORTHWEST STATES & PROVINCES
Join leading economists from the Pacific Northwest to discuss key drivers and challenges for the regional economy.
The Pacific Northwest Regional Economic Conference (PNREC), scheduled for May 2020, was canceled suddenly (along with practically everything else) due to the Covid-19 pandemic. With the initial shock now behind us, and a general thirst for knowledge about this rapidly-evolving economic situation, we will be hosting one of our signature events – the regional forecast session – in a virtual format. Join us for this free event on Thursday, July 30 at 2:00. The session will feature a national forecast and discussion among forecasters from around the Pacific Northwest states and provinces about how our region is economically situated.

- Tom Potiowsky, Portland State University

- Bret Bertolin, State of Washington
- Don Stickel, State of Alaska

After careful consideration, the Board of the Pacific Northwest Regional Economic Conference (PNREC) has chosen to cancel PNREC 2020, May 18-20 in Walla Walla, due to coronavirus concerns. We want you to know that the PNREC Board values the health and well-being of the region’s economic community foremost and has made this decision with that view in mind. All fees paid by those who have registered thus far will be fully refunded. We will begin the refund process, so you won’t have to initiate it.
