Georgia Economic Outlook

Luncheon Series

Hosted by the University of Georgia’s Terry College of Business, this annual series — now in its 44th year — features the latest research-driven insights from the Selig Center for Economic Growth. UGA economist Jeff Humphreys authors the state, national and local economic forecasts for all corners of Georgia. This year’s forecast will be presented with expert commentary from economist and Terry College of Business Dean Santanu Chatterjee.

Whether you’re a business owner, policymaker, or nonprofit leader, this is your chance to connect over lunch, engage with cutting-edge analysis, and equip yourself with the knowledge you need to navigate 2027 with confidence.
