2024 Economic Summit

Dr. Austan Goolsbee, president and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, headlines the 2024 IFBF Economic Summit with a "fireside chat" with IFBF President Brent Johnson, providing members valuable insight into the U.S. macroeconomy. The summit will be Dr. Goolsbee’s first public appearance directly following the June Federal Open Market Committee meeting.

Participants will also gain insights from Frank Kelly, founder and managing partner of Fulcrum Macro, about world macroeconomics and geopolitics impacting agriculture. Tyne Morgan, host of the U.S. Farm Report, will host and moderate an ag lending panel. Additional sessions include a meat panel featuring a retailer, meat packer and cattle feeder; a panel providing updates on the U.S./Mexico trade situation; and discussion on crafting pre-harvest marketing plans to help navigate challenging grain market conditions.
