 Speaker Highlight:
Joey Von Nessen, Opening Speaker
SC Economic Forecast
The SCALT Convention and Trade Show is being held April 23-24, 2021, at Marriott Grande Dunes In Myrtle Beach. Join us for two days of information and relationship building!
It's safe to say we have never been here before. In his remarks during the Convention welcome session on April 23, Joey Von Nessen will provide a "State of the State" address, where he will assess the current situation and economic environment in South Carolina.
Von Nessen is a research economist at the Darla Moore School of Business at University of South Carolina. Come hear how the state's economy is pulling through, what you should expect in the next year, and what lasting impacts you will see in your business due to COVID-19.
This opening session provides the ideal backdrop for SCALT's Boot Camp, which will help you recharge and, most importantly, move your business forward.
In July 2020, Joey appeared on the Managerial Insights Radio Series. Listen to his 2020 economic outlook for a sample of the sort of information he will provide on April 23, 2021.
