Event Details
The Forecast Dinner assembles a panel of some of the best economic minds to discuss and predict the state of the U.S. and global economies during the coming year. Join us to hear what they have to say about housing, credit, unemployment, foreign trade, and emerging markets, and get your economic insights for 2010!
The Forecast Dinner is perennially sold out, so please register as soon as possible to guarantee yourself a ticket and avoid being disappointed.
After a two year hiatus, Robert Aliber, Professor Emeritus of International Economics and Finance returns as a panelist thanks to the generosity of a local alumnus who has agreed to cover his travel costs. As regular attendees may recall, Professor Aliber predicted the real estate bubble and much of its consequences. The other two confirmed panelists are Ambassador Chan Heng Chee of Singapore, one of the most influential diplomats in Washington, who will provide an international perspective and Alan Levenson, Chief Economist at T. Rowe Price. Former business correspondent, Karen Gibbs '78, will once again serve as the moderator.
