                                               A Post-Pandemic Economy


                                               Tuesday ■ May 18, 2021 10:30 am – 12:00 pm


                                               The impact of the past year’s pandemic has been devastating to individ-
                                               uals, families, and communities. The unprecedented negative impact on
                                               the economy will be studied and analyzed for years to come. For many
            Ron Insana                         businesses and industries, it has been catastrophic but for some the pan-
                                               demic has provided an opportunity. What happens next?  As we emerge
                                               from this pandemic, will digital and technological companies continue
                                               to grow exponentially?  Will jobs that have disappeared in the hospitality
                                               and travel sectors ever come back? To what level? Will conventions and
                                               conferences ever be as essential as before the pandemic?  Additionally,
                                               over the past 12 years, we have had the longest running bull market in
                                               history, and one wonders how much longer it can be sustained.  Will the
                                               Biden Administration use tariff and trade policies differently than the pre-
                                               vious administration? Forecasting economic trends is difficult in the best
