A Fifth Third U.S. Economic Summit
EACC Netherlands newest member from the U.S., Fifth Third Commercial Bank will host an exclusive U.S. Economic Summit in Amsterdam.
The bank’s Chief Economist, Jeff Korzenik, will be presenting ‘A View From Middle America’.
Here in Europe, we are offered lots of views from the East and West Coast, but fewer from middle America. In collaboration with the University of North Carolina, Jeff has been collating information on local populations in some of the more unfashionable parts of the country, such as the Midwest and Southeast. This includes consumer behaviour, spending patterns and inflation. Hence, brace yourself for some unique insight.
This evening is upon invitation-only. EACC members who are interested are welcome to email marcel.schulze[at]eaccnl.eu.
Date & time: Monday, June 30, from 6pm-9pm
Venue: Conservatorium Hotel, Paulus Potterstraat 50, Amsterdam
