Econ Club Summary

The Economic Club of Indiana is a nonpartisan forum that brings together Indiana’s most engaged business, civic, academic, and government leaders to explore the economic and social issues shaping our state and nation. Through a celebrated annual speaker series and a dynamic network of members, the Club fosters insight, collaboration, and leadership development.

As one of Indiana’s premier convening platforms, we create space for meaningful dialogue with nationally recognized speakers—amplifying ideas that inform, inspire, and elevate our collective future.

Mission & Our History

Our Mission

To connect leaders and cultivate conversations that enrich economic understanding, shape public discourse, and foster inclusive growth across Indiana

Our History

Founded in 1974, The Economic Club of Indiana began with a bold vision: to establish a civic space where influential voices from across the country could speak directly to Indiana’s business and civic leaders. For over five decades, the Club has served as a platform for dialogue around the most pressing issues of the day, hosting U.S. presidents, Fortune 500 executives, economists, and thought leaders across industries.

What began as a luncheon series has evolved into a pillar of Indiana’s civic life—connecting ideas, leaders, and communities in powerful ways.
