10 Reasons to Attend the Windsor-Essex Economic Summit

There’s no shortage of headlines about Canada’s economy.

 

Interest rates. Inflation. Housing. Trade. Investment. Economic growth. Every day seems to bring a new prediction about where things are headed next.

 

But as we begin looking ahead to 2027, understanding the bigger picture (and separating the headlines from the trends that really matter) is becoming increasingly important.

On September 22, the Windsor-Essex Economic Summit will bring Ben Rabidoux and Richard Dias to Caesars Windsor for a morning of economic insights, thoughtful discussion and a live audience Q&A.

Still wondering if the event is for you? Here are 10 reasons to attend the Windsor-Essex Economic Summit…

 

---

 

1. Hear Directly from the Experts

Skip the sound bites and hear directly from two of Canada’s leading economic voices.

Ben Rabidoux and Richard Dias are known for taking complex economic data and trends and putting them into context… helping audiences better understand not only what is happening, but why it matters.

 

2. Get Informed Heading Into 2027

What should businesses, investors and individuals be paying attention to as we approach a new year?

The morning will provide perspective on the trends shaping Canada today and what could influence the economy in the months ahead.

 

3. Understand Where Interest Rates May Be Headed

Interest rates affect far more than mortgages.

They influence borrowing, consumer spending, business investment, development and the broader economy. Gain greater context around the factors influencing rates and what we should be watching next.

 

4. Get a Clearer Picture of Canada’s Economy

Go deeper into the forces shaping the Canadian economy, from inflation and productivity to economic policy, growth and broader global influences.

It’s an opportunity to step away from the daily news cycle and look at how the pieces fit together.

 

5. Get the Real Story on Housing

Go beyond the headlines and dig into the data shaping Canada’s housing market.

Whether or not you work in real estate, housing has significant implications for our economy, communities, businesses and household finances.

 

6. Understand What It Means for Southern Ontario

National statistics only tell part of the story.

Connect the broader economic trends to what’s happening closer to home and consider what they could mean for Southern Ontario and our local communities.

 

7. Ask Your Own Questions

Have something you want to ask?

The Windsor-Essex Economic Summit will include a live audience Q&A, giving attendees an opportunity to ask questions and hear directly from Ben and Richard.

 

8. Connect with Local Professionals

The Summit brings together business owners, entrepreneurs, investors and professionals from across the region.

Beyond the presentations themselves, it’s an opportunity to meet, connect and have meaningful conversations with others who are thinking about many of the same issues.

 

9. Expert Insights, Close to Home

Access the calibre of speakers you’d typically travel to a major conference to hear without leaving Windsor–Essex.

Bringing these conversations closer to home makes high-level economic insight more accessible to our local business community.

 

10. Start 2027 Better Informed

You don’t need to be an economist to benefit from understanding the forces shaping our economy.

Gain the insights and perspective to help you make more informed decisions and position yourself for success in the year ahead.
