What Does the Future Look Like for Idaho’s Economy?
December 11, 2025

The 海角社区 College of Business invites industry leaders, business owners, students and community members to the third annual Idaho Economic Outlook Symposium.
The event, happening January 23 from 8:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. at the ICCU Bengal Alumni Center, will cover topics including real estate, health care and growth opportunities. Personal income forecasts, population growth, tax revenue forecasts and state expenditures will also be discussed. The event will conclude with keynote speaker Jason Hansen, distinguished research economist at the Idaho National Laboratory.
“Changes in the economic landscape affect all of us, but they are not always easy to interpret,” said 海角社区 Professor of Economics Dr. Iris Buder. “The Idaho Economic Outlook Symposium creates a space where people can hear different viewpoints, ask questions and connect broader trends to the challenges and opportunities they see day to day. We’re especially excited this year to bring two exceptional new voices into the conversation, Nathan Murray from Idaho Power and Jason Hansen from the Idaho National Laboratory. Their participation ensures this symposium blends real-world business and research perspectives, giving all of us a richer, clearer picture of what’s ahead for our state.”
Early bird pricing, which includes lunch, is $20 for community members, $10 for 海角社区 faculty and staff and free for 海角社区 students. Beginning January 1, prices will be $30 for community members and $20 for 海角社区 faculty and staff. Proceeds from the event will go towards 海角社区 student scholarships.
