Riverside-San Bernardino Economic Forecast Conference

Register now: Thursday, November 3rd at the Riverside Convention Center!

Join MetroIntelligence and Beacon Economics for the next Riverside-San Bernardino Economic Forecast Conference, presented with the generous sponsorship of the U.C. Riverside School of Business Administration.

Come hear some of the state's most reputable forecasters deliver a new outlook for the U.S., California, and Inland Southern California economies.

• Is the recent slowdown in the U.S. economy a sign of worse to come? Or are we over the hump?
• Housing prices have stabilized but sales remain weak. What really ails the housing market?
• Can President Obama or Governor Brown make a dent in unemployment before the 2012 election?
• When will growth return to Inland Southern California?

Following the forecast, join a lively debate over the direction of jobs and employment in Inland Southern California. Hear expert speakers as they lay out their views about where the region should be focusing its efforts and resources.

• White Collar vs. Blue Collar: Does the future of Inland Southern California’s economy lie in high tech or the region's traditional industries?
• With the recent expansion of the Governor's "San Diego Innovation Hub" to include the I-215 Corridor, possible new funding sources have opened for high tech enterprise. Is this a golden opportunity for Inland Southern California to move towards becoming a high tech corridor?
• Inland Southern California's well-established, traditional industries, such as manufacturing, have strong competitive advantages. Would a greater focus on high tech business affect these industries?
• What can policymakers and economic developers really do to affect the direction of job and business development in the region? Is much of it out of their hands?
