    WBJ's annual Central MA Economic Forecast Forum in partnership with the Worcester Regional Chamber of Commerce, takes a look at the economic climate of the past year, current national and regional data along with key trends looking forward.

    The 2025 program will also place a focus on the region’s real estate market. When it comes to fueling growth in our region, real estate is the straw that stirs the drink. Central MA has a number of competitive advantages, but uneven supply and demand have made some sectors hot, while others are struggling with excess inventory. Industry leaders will share their insights and outlook for the region’s dynamic real estate market and where they see it going in the coming year.

    Don't miss this opportunity to gain exclusive insights and network with industry leaders!
