Chicago And Economics

Chicago is a thriving center of commerce, finance and consulting, activities that depend on professional analysis. Chicago Association for Business Economics (CABE) promotes the economic brand of analysis, both by providing practitioners a forum to discuss their craft, and by exposing business generalists to trends affecting their bottom line.

Our meetings are organized as speaking events at the Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago, so they benefit from a strong Fed perspective. But speakers and members hail from across industries and specialties, meaning a diversity of opinion shapes every meeting.

CABE is the Chicago affiliate of National Association for Business Economics (NABE) and counts among its members multiple past-presidents of NABE.

Upcoming Events

CABE is off for the summer. The next meeting will be held in September, 2009.
