Economic Outlook 2026

The Chattanooga Area Chamber of Commerce’s Economic Outlook event at the Westin Chattanooga drew an outstanding turnout. Attendees heard valuable economic insights from Dr. David Altig, Executive Vice President and Chief Economic Adviser at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. The program also highlighted Chattanooga’s economic competitiveness through a fireside chat led by Janet Rehberg, President and CEO‑elect of EPB Chattanooga, in conversation with Kim Moore, Executive Managing Director at Newmark. 

We are grateful for the support of our partners; this event would not be possible without them. A special thank‑you to our sponsors:
