Future in Focus: Annual Meeting Morning Presentation 2026

The future of Westerville’s business community doesn’t exist in isolation - it is shaped by regional, national, and global forces that are transforming how and where we live, work, and do business.

This special morning presentation will feature a member of the leadership team from OneColumbus, offering a data-informed look at the key business and economic trends shaping the Midwest. Attendees will gain insight into how the Columbus region - and Westerville specifically - compares to peer markets of similar size and demographics, and what differentiates our community in a highly competitive landscape.

Through real-world examples and regional analysis, this session will explore what these trends mean for growth, talent attraction, investment, and long-term economic vitality, and how Westerville’s business leaders can translate big-picture insights into local action.

Designed to be both informative and forward-thinking, this presentation will help business and community leaders better understand where the region is headed - and how Westerville can continue to position itself for success.
