This year’s theme is INTENTION. We will discuss how as a community we can be intentional about our actions for a more economically resilient Nevada by using data to help drive our decisions. This will include a discussion by experts in one of those areas, the lithium-ion industry in Nevada. In addition CBER will release an update to our twice a year economic forecasts for the coming two years for both the U.S. and Southern Nevada economies and answer questions from attendees.
Speakers and panelists will be announced in the coming weeks.
