Vermont Chamber and NBT Bank to Host Free Economic Insights Webinar
Final 2026 conversation with Ken Entenmann will translate national economic signals into practical insight for Vermont businesses
The Vermont Chamber of Commerce and NBT Bank will host a free Economic Insights online webinar on Thursday, November 12, featuring Kenneth J. Entenmann, CFA®, Chief Investment Officer and Chief Economist at NBT Wealth Management.
At a time when businesses are navigating interest rates, inflation, tariffs, labor market shifts, consumer spending, and market volatility, Entenmann will help translate the latest economic signals into practical insight for Vermont employers and business leaders. At the same time, rapid advances in artificial intelligence are reshaping investment markets, productivity, and long-term economic expectations, creating new opportunities alongside new uncertainty.
For Vermont employers, these national economic forces have immediate consequences. They influence financing costs, consumer spending, hiring decisions, capital investments, and business planning. Businesses and organizations that understand the signals driving today’s economy will be better positioned to adapt and make informed decisions in an increasingly unpredictable environment. During the webinar, Entenmann will provide clear, data-informed perspectives on the economic conditions businesses are facing now and what they should be watching into the new year.
“In a rapidly changing economy, timely insight is essential to making smart business decisions,” said Amy Spear, President of the Vermont Chamber of Commerce. “This conversation will cut through the noise and give Vermont employers the economic perspective they need to navigate uncertainty, plan with confidence, and position their businesses for growth.”
Entenmann brings more than 33 years of investment experience and oversees more than $6 billion in assets under management and administration across Trust, Custody, Retirement, Institutional, and Individual accounts. Prior to joining NBT Bank, he served as Director of Investment Management at Alliance Bank. He holds a bachelor’s degree in applied economics and business management from Cornell University, an MBA from the William E. Simon Graduate School of Business Administration at the University of Rochester, and the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA®) designation.
The Economic Insights webinar series, powered by NBT Bank, connects Vermont businesses with timely economic analysis and practical guidance to support sound planning and decision-making in a rapidly evolving marketplace.
Registration is free and open to all.
