MADISON, WI (December 9, 2025)  — Against the backdrop of a presidential transition and major shift in many federal government policies, along with a new technology revolution gathering steam, it is time to invite some special guests to the program to share what they think lies ahead in the economy, financial markets, investment opportunities, technology, and, of course, sports! 

  • Will the economic momentum generated by the steady advances in artificial intelligence propel the economy forward through 2026, or will the potential AI bubble burst and take down the markets and consumer confidence? 
  • Will the Fed wring the last bit of excess inflation out of the system, or will it begin cutting rates to stimulate the labor market and spending, potentially leaving inflation above target?  
  • What economic trends should investors be following to capture opportunity in the year ahead? Which of the AI creators, enablers, or users will fare best in the coming year? 
  • And in sports. what do the numbers tell us about the likely winner of the College Football Playoff and the Super Bowl this year? 

Join the Wisconsin Foundation and Alumni Association online this Tuesday, Dec. 9, at 7 p.m. CST. Mike Knetter will moderate a live discussion with experts who will answer these questions and offer their insights on what to expect in 2026.
