Fox Cities Chamber Launches Annual Economic Outlook Survey

The Fox Cities Chamber has opened its 2026 Economic Outlook Survey and is inviting local employers and professionals to share their insights on the current business environment and local economic priorities. The survey is open to anyone who works in the Fox Cities region, including Outagamie, Calumet, and northern Winnebago Counties, regardless of industry or organization size.

The survey gathers input on topics including business performance, growth strategies, workforce challenges, and how the Fox Cities compares to other markets as a place to do business. Participants are also asked to identify the most important priorities for strengthening the regional economy in the years ahead.

The survey takes less than 10 minutes to complete and is available online now: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/5LVKLFH . It closes on January 16, 2026

Results will be released at the Chamber’s Economic Outlook Breakfast on February 18 at the Hilton Appleton Paper Valley. This year’s program has been changed to a morning event starting at 7 AM with breakfast and registration. The presentation, which features bowtie economist Elliot Eisenberg, begins at 8 AM. Early bird tickets are available online at https://members.foxcc.net/chamber-events/Details/2026-economic-outlook-breakfast-1327237?sourceTypeId=Website.
