MTL Delegates Will Interact with Sam Kahan To Find Creative Solutions on June 5th
Sam Kahan Will Examine Midwestern Financial Trends; Will Share Keen Insight And Newest Data
"It's The Economy, Naturally..."
"The world has changed. We are going through structural change in the economy that takes time."
- Outsourcing and off-shoring of jobs...
- Turmoil in the credit markets...
- Recession, partially sparked by a crisis in housing/construction...
- The continued weakening of the U.S. currency...
- Dramatic, monolithic mergers among giant I.T. vendors...
Isn't a discussion of these, and other important economic trends affecting our corporations and institutions, vital?
While counseling a degree of patience, and demonstrating an admirable analytic attention to detail, there is no question that the Federal Reserve of Chicago's Senior Economist, Sam Kahan, can create a vision that sparks discussion, incites debate, and inspires positive transformation among astute businesspeople.
Kahan will bring his powerful grasp of economic trends to his MTL session on June 5th. It is a session, not to be missed.
Kahan will review global, national, and regional economic indicators and trends. He will specifically zero in on a comparison of the Midwest to the rest of the United States, and extend the discussion to a contrast between our region and the world. He will provide a regional outlook; offer a current economic forecast; and will prognosticate on what will remain static, and what can (and must) change for regional growth.
Additionally, Kahan will address the controversial issues surrounding the current U.S. trade deficit and examine its implications for a region, for whom this is a vital discussion area.
Most importantly, Kahan will take questions from an incisive and interested audience of technology decision-makers, who are all profoundly affected by the economy; and whose actions and leadership can affect it, as well!
