Leading Your Business into 2025: Making Sense of the U.S. Economy & the 2024 Elections

Join us for this closing keynote presentation in the Sheraton/Chicago Ballroom, Level 4.
What do higher interest rates, complex labor force dynamics and evolving geopolitical risks mean for your business and your customers this year? What pressing challenges does the new Congress and President-elect face in 2025? And what might it all mean for the risk and insurance industry? Drawing on her extensive experience as an economist on Capitol Hill and a Washington analyst on Wall Street, Joan Woodward will share her economic, public policy and political outlook in this data-driven, analytical, and nonpartisan presentation. Joan, who currently serves as Executive Vice President for Public Policy at Travelers, will explore these topics and more, including how the 2024 U.S. elections may impact insurance, tax policy, and the broader economy.
