Get Powerful Insights From Proven Leaders -- Now Available Wherever You Are

TEMPE, Ariz., Sept. 3, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The Economic Club of Phoenix speaker series — hosted by the W. P. Carey School of Business — is celebrating its 36th anniversary and has become the preeminent Arizona forum for the exchange of ideas about business and the economy. 

New this season, audiences from everywhere are invited to attend the club's virtual events to hear from major names leading world-renowned organizations through uncertain times.

Senior executives from across industries —from supply chain platform Blue Yonder (formerly JDA Software) to commercial manufacturing group Carlisle Companies to real estate solutions provider Offerpad — are among those slated to speak during the new Economic Club of Phoenix (ECP) season. 

"I believe this is an extraordinary opportunity for the Economic Club of Phoenix to extend its speaker series to everyone in the business community," said Amy Hillman, dean of Arizona State University's W.

"This is a time when leaders need to step up and offer insights from their experience, and share what they're learning and implementing to keep their companies ahead of the curve.
