His erudite, charismatic, and articulate style of analyzing financial and economic news has charmed audiences for years. Varney incorporates national and worldwide politics into his presentations, and does not shy away from frank assessments of how today’s politics affect current economic conditions. He is not afraid to discuss the economy in political terms, and frankly assesses administrations and their affect on economics.

For business to prosper, it must address economic issues impacting its ability to compete. Stuart Varney cuts through the jargon to make complex economic issues accessible. No discussion about the economy is complete without consideration of the political climate and the economic agenda of the current administration. Varney’s frank assessment of worldwide politics as it relates to economic trends, opportunities, and hazards is fresh, insightful, and comprehensive.

In addition, the Opening General Session features the presentation of the industry’s two highest honors…the 2008 CICA Distinguished Service Award and the Outstanding Captive Award. Plan to be there for these exciting and inspiring presentations.
