Due to winter weather expected in the area, the City of Monroe has postponed its 16th Annual Groundhog Day Economic Summit originally scheduled for Monday, February 2.
The event will now take place on Monday, March 2, 2026, from 8 to 10 a.m. at the Dowd Center Theatre in Downtown Monroe.
The City is thankful to keynote speaker Dr. Michael Walden, our partners at the Union County Chamber of Commerce, and the many contributors who were able to reschedule. We look forward to hosting an engaging and informative summit on March 2.
The Groundhog Day Economic Summit brings together business and community leaders to explore economic trends, opportunities, and strategies shaping Monroe’s future. This year’s event will feature Dr. Walden, William Neal Reynolds Distinguished Professor Emeritus at North Carolina State University, along with networking opportunities and a presentation followed by a Q&A session.
The event is free, but registration is required. Those already registered do not need to re-register for the new date.
Thank you for your understanding. Additional updates will be shared on the City of Monroe’s website and social media channels.
