Keynote Presentation: managing in an uncertain economy
Connor Lokar, Program Economist at ITR Economics
 
Connor provides economic consulting services for businesses, trade associations, and Fortune 500 companies across a spectrum of industries. His economic insight and forecasting experience play a key role in ITR Economics' 94.7% forecast accuracy.
Moving through the early stages of 2019, we are turning our attention to what the leading indicators are saying about the economy for the end of 2019 and 2020. The clouds are darkening with respect to the US consumer and residential construction markets this year which will have consequences for commercial markets in 2020. There are business cycle changes that are reshaping the future, and there are policy actions that will have an impact on our future—and others that won’t. The consumer drove the economy to its recent peak; attend and find out why we think the consumer is in a weakened position in 2019. Tariffs, global uncertainty, the stock market, incomes, and interest rates all have a part to play in the outlook and Connor will paint the picture so that attendees will walk away with a clear understanding how the economic environment will impact their business and their bottom line.
Walk away from this session with:
• A clear vision for the future for the US economy, consumer and construction markets
• Knowing what leading indicators matter
• Inflation expectations
• What could make the future look better & what could make it look worse
• How US debt and demographics will shape the 2030’s
• Strategic objectives to apply to prepare for the future
