Emerald’s team will be joined by noted economist Joel Naroff, James Furey, CFA, founder and Managing Partner of Furey Research Partners, and senior executives from companies that exemplify the trends identified by Emerald and who will provide insights on the state of their industries and sectors.

“Our Emerald mascot – Digby the Groundhog – has seen the long shadow of COVID begin to recede and now turns to the predictions for the future post-pandemic economy,” said Emerald CEO and Founder Joseph E. Besecker. “Uncertainty and volatility will follow us into 2022, along with a midterm election, inflation impacts, interest rate decisions and continuing supply chain issues: all calling out for information and analysis” he said.

The Groundhog Day Investment Forum will be held on Thursday, February 3^rd at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel in Philadelphia, PA.
