The Economic Club of Phoenix speaker series — hosted by the W. P. Carey School of Business at Arizona State University — is celebrating its 37th anniversary and has become a top forum for the exchange of ideas about business and the economy.

For the second season, audiences can attend the club’s virtual events from anywhere and everywhere to hear from major names leading world-renowned organizations.

One of those leaders is the nation’s foremost investigator in the rapidly expanding field of personalized diagnostics. Another is the founder and CEO of the leading HIPPA-compliant marketing chat solution.

“I’m looking forward to extending this speaker series again to business professionals everywhere,” said Amy Ostrom, interim dean of Arizona State University’s W. P. Carey School of Business and PetSmart Chair in Services Leadership. “Leaders are answering the call to offer insights from their experience, and share what they’re learning and implementing as circumstances change. We’re excited to hear the lessons they’ve learned from their work.”
