We’re excited to once again welcome John Deskins back to Berkeley Springs for one of our most anticipated annual events: the Economic Outlook Luncheon, happening Tuesday, December 9 at noon at beautiful Cacapon Resort State Park.

He leads the Bureau’s efforts to provide rigorous, nonpartisan economic analysis and forecasting for business leaders and policymakers across the state.

If you’ve joined us before, you know this isn’t your typical “lunch and lecture.” John makes the numbers come alive, helping us understand what’s really happening in West Virginia’s economy and what trends are likely to shape our local businesses in 2026 and beyond.

A complimentary lunch will be provided (and it’s always delicious, thanks…
