The Woodlands Economic Outlook Conference Preparing for the New Year

THE WOODLANDS, Texas -- One thing that has been thrust to the forefront during this tumultuous election season is that local economies are on tenuous ground.

Montgomery County is no exception, with its massive and ongoing influx of new arrivals of homeowners and businesses, nonstop infrastructure and road improvement projects, and vertical building.

The timing is right for many of these economic issues to be addressed.

The Woodlands Area Chamber of Commerce is presenting its 31st annual Economic Outlook Conference on Friday, Jan. 27, 2017 from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott& Convention Center. The event is presented by The Woodlands Area Economic Outlook Partnership.

The theme of this year’s conference is Fully Charged – Moving Forward. The conference is designed to spotlight key economic trends that will shape our community, the nation and the globe. Year after year, this event brings together nationally-recognized speakers, roughly 800 business and community leaders, and corporate sponsors.

Experts from numerous fields will speak at the conference that is designed to increase awareness and promote action in the economic and developmental needs of The Woodlands and its surrounding areas. Several networking opportunities will also be built into the schedule.

Registration to the event is required, and more information can be found at www.eocthewoodlands.com.
