Datapalooza 2020

Do you need more data and information to make knowledgeable decisions about your business or as a community legislator or leader? Join the Economic Development Council (EDC) for our fifth annual Datapalooza! event on Wednesday, December 9, 2020 from 11am to 12:30pm via Zoom. Learn more about how the pandemic affected area industries and employment, while sharing in a bring-your-own lunch and compelling group conversation.

This year’s program, sponsored in part by Island Market, will include presentations by noted speakers James McCafferty, director of WWU’s Center for Economic & Business Research and Dr. Anneliese Vance-Sherman, regional labor economist for the State of Washington.

The presentations will explore our region’s economy and demographics – past, present, and future – including industry, employment, sales data, and current trends. This in-depth analysis will enable leaders and businesspeople to make informed decisions about issues that affect our community and economy.
