ST. LOUIS – Twenty-one of the St. Louis region's chambers of commerce will gather again this fall for the 2025 Multi-Chamber Economic Outlook Breakfast, an annual event that brings together members from across the 15-county bi-state St. Louis metro. The breakfast will take place at the Renaissance St. Louis Airport Hotel Thursday, Nov. 6, 7:30 – 9:30 a.m. Registration is now open.
Charles S. Gascon, Economist & Research Officer, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, will keynote this year’s event. During his address, an “Update on U.S. and Regional Economic Conditions,” he will discuss current economic conditions based on economic data and insights from Federal Reserve business surveys, then provide an outlook for the year ahead.
A panel discussion featuring local chamber leaders will follow the keynote presentation. Panelists will include Martha Garcia Kampen, President & CEO of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Metropolitan St. Louis, and Jeff Wade, Executive Director of the Asian American Chamber of Commerce of St. Louis. Both organizations are preparing to release new economic impact studies this fall that highlight the growing contributions of Hispanic and Asian-owned businesses in the St. Louis region.
Together with Gascon’s keynote, the panel will provide attendees with both a big-picture view of the economy and a closer look at how local chambers and their members are shaping economic growth across the region. KSDK Journalist and News Anchor Michelle Li will emcee the event.
