This is the largest presentation of economic information in the greater Portland Metro area, attracting between 400 and 500 attendees. 

This year’s Economic Forecast breakfast, presented by The Columbian and Riverview Community Bank, will provide in-depth economic and business information tailored specifically for the business community in Clark County.  Ken Fisher’s keynote will give a local outlook and business advice for 2015 and beyond.

Fisher is the founder, CEO and Co-Chief Investment Officer of Fisher Investments, a multi-billion dollar money management firm serving large institutions and high net worth individuals. Fisher Investments, based in California, operates a campus in Camas with hundreds of employees.
Perhaps best known for his prestigious Forbes “Portfolio Strategy” column, Ken Fisher’s 30 years of high-profile market calls make him the third-longest-running columnist in Forbes history. From 1984 through 2012 Fisher wrote 10 books, including four New York Times bestsellers.  
Following the keynote address, attendees will have the opportunity to attend one of four breakout panel sessions. The four panels feature local experts with topics including; Emerging Small Business, Opportunities for Large Employers, Housing and Commercial Development, and Economic Development Opportunities. 
The successful student program, sponsored by BergerABAM, continues to attract high school and college students. Teachers registering five students are free.  The first fifty students and their advisers are offered free seats to the event by calling Audri Bomar at The Columbian, 360-735-4466.
The Economic Forecast began as a special business feature presented by The Columbian in the mid-1980s. In 1995, a breakfast was added to give panelists a public forum to present their views prior to the Sunday publication of a special section in The Columbian that includes in-depth information on these topics.
