North San Diego Business Chamber in partnership with National University System Institute of Policy Research brings you a forum offering information and forecasting by industry to prepare your business for the future. Threats and opportunities for business in 2016 will be the key presentation points and how each industry impacts business differently.

Attendees will receive a takeaway on the subject put together by the NUSIPR.

Airport and Military

• Do taxpayers fund the airport?
• What economic impact does the airport have on businesses in the region?
• To what extent does the airport keep contracts with local builders and vendors for their projects and services?
• What trends in travel (hubs versus point-to-point; aircraft fleet mixes, etc.) could have an impact on San Diego businesses?
• How many military families live in the region, and what is their spending power?
• What is the impact of home purchases by veterans?
• Is the military forecast to grow in the region?
• How will changes in America's strategic position and the threats faced by it impact the military's footprint in San Diego, and the potential resulting impact on the community?
