What's next for the construction industry? At McGraw-Hill Construction's Outlook 2010 Executive Conference, media representatives, economists and industry leaders will get a first look at the highly anticipated 2010 Construction Outlook Report. Authored by Robert Murray, vice president of economic affairs for McGraw-Hill Construction, the report details the construction forecast for the year ahead. Trends in construction, which accounts for 8% of America's gross domestic product, will have critical influence on the nation's overall economy.
The 71st annual Outlook Executive Conference will be held on Thursday, October 15, and Friday, October 16, at the Capital Hilton in Washington, DC. The event will bring together top executives from all parts of the construction industry including firms involved in building product manufacturing, architecture and design, contracting, engineering, industry associations and other industry professionals.
The Outlook Executive Conference is expected to draw more than 300 attendees to discuss industry trends and analyze the impact that U.S. and global economic forces, such as the ARRA and other key initiatives, will have on the construction industry in the coming year. The program includes lectures and interactive panel discussions, as well as ample opportunities for attendees to share information with peers and presenters. Tucker Carlson, Contributor, FOX News, and Senior Fellow, The Cato Institute, will open the event with a luncheon keynote address at noon on October 15. Mr. Murray will conclude the event by presenting the 2010 Construction Outlook findings at 11 a.m. on October 16.
