Origin of the Meeting Name

"Jackson Hole" is a small town in Wyoming, USA, known for its beautiful scenery and secluded environment. Since 1978, the Federal Reserve's Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank has been holding the central bank symposium here every year, hence the conference is commonly referred to as the "Federal Reserve Jackson Hole Meeting." The choice of this location is primarily to allow participants to escape the hustle and bustle and focus more on discussing economic and policy issues.
