MNI BRIEF: Fed Jackson Hole Conference To Take Place Virtually

The Kansas City Federal Reserve announced Friday the annual Jackson Hole symposium will be held virtually, a reversal from prior plans that saw a modified, in-person program.

"While we are disappointed that health conditions will prevent us from being able to gather in person at the Jackson Lake Lodge this year as we had planned, the safety of our guests and the Teton County community is our priority," said Kansas City Fed president Esther George, in a statement.

The Kansas City Fed will release the program's full agenda Thursday, August 26 at 8 p.m. ET. Fed Chair Jerome Powell is scheduled to give livestreamed remarks on Friday at 10 a.m. ET.
