Event Description:

What once took days now happens in hours, and increasingly, in minutes.
 
Advances in automation, autonomous systems, artificial intelligence, and on-demand logistics are transforming industries, redefining consumer expectations, and creating new opportunities for economic growth.
 
Join us for this Economic Update Luncheon as we explore the technologies driving the rise of the "instant economy" and the impact these innovations are having on businesses, workers, and communities across Arizona. From drone-enabled delivery and automated logistics networks to evolving workforce demands and infrastructure needs, this discussion will examine how technology is reshaping the future of commerce, competitiveness, and economic development. Attendees will gain valuable insights into the trends influencing how goods, services, and information move through our economy, and what these changes mean for the future of business.
