Sessions

Join us on the Main Stage for a critical exploration of the economic landscape impacting senior living and care with economist Diane Swonk, a globally recognized advisor to policymakers and business leaders. The timing of our convening in late September couldn’t be more salient given potential monetary policy shifts on the horizon.

Diane will engage you in a comprehensive analysis of the current economic environment and its influence on senior housing and care. She will explore key topics shaping our economic reality, including the FOMC interest rate policy, expectations for interest rates heading into 2025, and how markets are pricing in the impact of the upcoming elections on fiscal and monetary policies.

Diane will highlight essential economic data that industry leaders should monitor closely as they plan for 2025. This data will help you gauge economic conditions that may trigger significant actions by the Federal Reserve, affecting market dynamics and investment strategies.
