AGC economic forecast conference: Construction’s Fate in 2008

As you reflect on 2007 and prepare for 2008, you might consider signing up for the Associated General Contractor’s economic forecast. The interactive audio conference will be held on Thursday, December 13, 1 p.m. central standard time.

According to AGC, nonresidential construction held up well in 2007 despite a housing meltdown, credit market turmoil and rising materials costs. Here are some questions to consider for 2008:

  • Can the industry keep pace in 2008?
  • Will construction be dragged down by those factors and a slowing economy?
  • What segments and regions are most vulnerable?

The panel of experts on construction materials and the economy — Ken Simonson, Daryl Delano, and John Cross — will assess the industry’s prospects and take questions from listeners.

The cost for the conference is $149 for AGC members and $229 for non-members.

Registration is at www.agc.org/EconForecast.
