2025 BUSINESS OUTLOOK SURVEY RESULTS

Feature

THANK YOU

Industry Panel Discussion

We appreciate everyone who joined us for the sold out 2026 Economic Summit to explore the current economic landscape and what the year ahead may bring. The program highlighted local, regional, and national trends that offered valuable takeaways for organizations across the Rochester region. This year we also welcomed the state demographer, whose insights on population shifts and workforce dynamics added important context to the economic outlook.

Small Business & Entrepreneur Panelists

A special thank you to our sponsors for making this event and the Business Outlook Survey possible.
