The 2026 Sorren Growth & Economic Summit brings together leaders, professionals, and business decision makers for an engaging and practical look at the year ahead. Throughout the morning, you will hear from speakers who bring clarity to complex issues, offer guidance on purposeful leadership, and share insight into the economic trends shaping 2026.

We close with an Economic Update from Steve Scranton, Chief Economist at Washington Trust Bank, who will offer a clear and accessible look at national, regional, and local trends. His session will help you understand the factors driving Federal Reserve decisions, gain perspective on inflation from both policy and consumer viewpoints, and identify the key risks to monitor in the coming year.
