ABOUT THE EVENT
Save the date for DRMA's most popular event of the year! Listen to an engaging update from one of the country's premier economists, Connor Lokar of ITR Economics. His presentation will provide the information you need to guide your business moving forward.
​
Conflicting trends characterized the first half of 2024, with lingering concerns regarding future actions by the Federal Reserve Board and the pace of disinflation. Some leading indicators were rising; others remained mired in decline. The reasonably good financial status of consumers in general and robust business cash balances in many industries kept the downside of the business cycle mild in 2024. Join us as we look at the trends for 2025 and into 2026, including the onset of recovery in the industrial economy and a faster rate of rise in most of the service sector. We will look at key markets domestically and globally and their expected impact on attendees. Knowing what to watch for and the probable timing of the reversal to rise will give you confidence as you lay out your plans. Specific action items pertinent to the macro and industry-specific outlook are important parts of the discussion as businesses prepare to maximize profit and prepare for the rest of the decade.
​
ITR, the oldest privately held, continuously operating economic research and consulting firm in the U.S., provides business leaders with economic information, insight, analysis, and strategy. Connor Lokar will deliver ITR's economic data and regional forecast in a presentation style he learned from his mentor, Brian Beaulieu . . . he keeps his audience engaged in a humorous and informative way.
