Event Materials

Join ACG Cincinnati and National Center for the Middle Market Executive Director Tom Stewart to discuss his recent survey of how middle market companies are responding to the COVID-19 crisis. Tom will share what the data show and what they mean for middle-market businesses, and those that work with them. The webinar will cover:

• What impact are companies preparing for and how will they manage those changes?

• What is the economic outlook post-crisis?

• A review of previous and current economic outlook and confidence of middle market executives

Representing nearly 200,000 American companies in every industry nationwide, the U.S. middle market is an engine driving economic growth. With annual revenues ranging from $10 million to $1 billion, middle-market firms collectively generate one-third of U.S. private sector GDP and employment.
