Featured speakers and topics include:

Connor Lokar, Economist at ITR Economics

Ahead of the Curve

Mr. Lokar will provide a look into both the macro-economy overall, as well as more granular construction trends focusing on the major drivers, domestic and global, that are exerting pressure on the US economy. Discussion will narrow into both residential and commercial construction trends within the US.  Lokar’s forecasting will provide focused expectations for the US economy and construction performance over the next few years while highlighting key objectives that will help attendees refine their business decision-making ahead of economic trends.  

Dr. Alan Gitelson, PhD, Loyola University Chicago

The 2016 Presidential Election:  The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Few presidential elections in the history of our nation have so confounded, confused, and challenged political pundits as has the 2016 race.  The two major party candidacies, Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hilary Clinton, will assure a dynamic and highly contentious campaign.  Professor Gitelson will sort out the underlying forces influencing the race from the characteristics and personalities of the candidates to the role of the media, third-party candidates, polls, issues, ideology, campaign financing and the nature and polarization of the voters.
