Top 100 Private Companies Luncheon

Each year, Business Report identifies the Top 100 Private Companies headquartered in the Capital Region, ranking them by annual revenue and profiling their leadership, employment and growth—together providing a revealing snapshot of the regional economy.

The Louisiana Business Symposium: Top 100 Luncheon brings leaders of those companies together with executives and decision-makers from across the region to recognize their contributions. A centerpiece of the program is an economic outlook on the forces shaping Louisiana and the Capital Region, featuring economist Loren Scott’s signature blend of analysis and “economic comedy.”
