RDDC's State of Rochester's Economy 2026
About this Event
State of Rochester's Economy 2026 offers an in-depth look into national and local trends shaping our region’s economic future. As the business, cultural, and civic heart of the region, downtown Rochester plays a vital role in how these forces unfold. From transformational development projects to new industries taking root, what happens downtown drives growth across the Greater Rochester economy.
This can't-miss annual luncheon brings together business leaders, policymakers, and community stakeholders for an engaging dialogue centered around Rochester’s regional strengths and opportunities for growth in 2026 and beyond. This year's program looks at how the Rochester economy will target innovation and entrepreneurship; how we'll attract and retain talent; and how place-based investments are growing Rochester's economic opportunities.
