About This Webinar

Inflation touches every part of the US economy, but its ripple effects on the Food and Beverage industry are especially significant. The Food Institute invite you to join us for a thought-provoking webinar where we’ll explore how rising prices are reshaping the US economy, with a special focus on the food and beverage sector.

We’re excited to have two experts leading this discussion: Anna Wong, Bloomberg's Chief US Economist, and Karen Galivan, RSM's Consumer Products Partner. They’ll bring their deep knowledge and real-world insights to help us understand what’s happening and what might come in 2025.

In this session, Anna and Karen will:

• Break down current inflation trends and economic indicators, including the latest assessment of recession in 2025
• Dive into the specific challenges and opportunities in the Food and Beverage industry, including rising corporate bankruptcies, evolving consumer behavior patterns, higher cost of capital, and lower liquidity.
• Offer practical advice for businesses on how to prepare for potential government administration and regulatory changes in 2025.
• Look ahead to the future and discuss how inflation and interest rate policy might impact both the industry and the broader economy.

Whether you’re running a Founder, CEO, or executive in food manufacturing, foodservice, or retail, this webinar will give you valuable insights on how to prepare for inflation’s impact on your business.
