When:  Nov 21, 2024 from 16:00 to 17:00 (ET)

Veteran lobbyist Duane Thompson will provide FPA PAC supporters with a preview of what the November 5th election will mean for the profession. Will planners see a “rubber band effect” if Republicans take control and push for de-regulation from the Biden years? What will happen to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act provisions that are set to expire next year without government action? With the presidential contest too close to call, some of the issues to be covered are not ‘What If’ scenarios but more of the ‘What and when’ actions in the wake of what may be the Mother of all Cliffhanger Elections.
