The theme of this year's Economic Outlook Seminar was the wave of Americans relocating to Montana in recent years, or in the words of the event's organizers: 'in-migration.' The 48th annual conference was held in Kalispell Tuesday, one of seven locations throughout the state on this year's tour by the University of Montana's Bureau of Business and Economic Research. The seminar's keynote speaker, economist Bryce Ward, discussed the trends driving the increase in Montana's popularity — often attributed to the hit television show 'Yellowstone' — and what the state's future might look like.
