The Bellevue Chamber of Commerce will host the 2018 Economic Forecast this Thursday.

The forecast will allow business men and women to strategically plan for success and put their finger on the pulse of the local marketplace, the business outlook, and the development pipeline.

The 2018 Economic Forecast will be held from 7-9 a.m. on Thursday, Nov. 16 at Meydenbauer Center.

Results of the Bellevue Chamber’s annual survey of Eastside Business Leaders will be presented, giving a look into what local companies are saying about the business climate in Bellevue. The 2018 Eastside Economic Strategy Guide, published in conjunction with the event, will include key economic data, such as demographics, employment, commercial and residential real estate, development pipeline, and more.
