Learning to Thrive in the New Normal Economy

While it is easy to gain consensus that the economy over the last few years has been the worst in anyone’s memory, the path forward is less clear. While many wait for the economy to recover and business to return to “normal,” others are looking at a future significantly different from the past. This “new normal” affects every aspect of the economy and the building industry. This presentation examines the drivers of the new normal, their affect on the building industry, and how we can find opportunities to help us thrive in this new economic landscape.

8:30 a.m. - 9:30 a.m.
