There is no crystal ball, but forecasting is the next best thing you can do to predict your business’s economic future.

PEI is offering a monthly interview-style presentation series to help your company plan during these unpredictable times. Join experts from ITR Economics, who will provide data and analysis on what to expect in 2021. During this series, they will cover industry trends, business-to-business activity, trade, inflation, interest rates and more. Using leading indicators, attendees will learn how to identify where they are in the business cycle and which inputs should guide their strategy to make the right decisions at the right time.
