The “Open for Business” series of our Survive & Thrive Biz Webinars highlights what YOUR business can expect as we REOPEN the economy.
The Market Realities: The NEW Normal webinar on May 20, 2020 gave a comprehensive look at the post-COVID-19 recovery beginning to take shape.
A distinguished panel of experts shared how the business community can pivot from managing through the COVID-19 crisis to achieving economic recovery and beyond from a regional, state, and national perspective.
This webinar examined reopening businesses and economic challenges through the following lenses:
- A national site selection consultant forecasted which industries will survive and thrive in the new economy and how companies are planning from retention to expansion activities;
- An economist’s view on how COVID-19 has burst our economic bubble and an update on current trends and a forecast on when recovery will take hold;
- The head of our state office of economic development detailed Colorado’s plan to rebuild the economy and support businesses post COVID-19; and
- An inside look from the Chair on the Governor’s Economic Stabilization and Growth Council on Colorado’s “new normal” and strategies to restart the economy.
