The big news this year at Jackson Hole was known three months ago. It's not going to be about what is said at the Fed's annual symposium, but rather who will not be attending. Fed Chairman Bernanke announced a while ago he had a "scheduling conflict" and wouldn't be attending the event. Besides Bernanke, the head of the ECB and BOE are also not attending this year's meeting.
