REGISTER: Chicago Booth Economic Outlook 2015

The University of Chicago Booth School of Business is gearing up to host Economic Outlook, an “annual event provides a forum for our pathbreaking thought leaders to confront the future,” which was established in 1954 as Business Forecast. This year’s Chicago event is on January 15, 2015, and three more events will happen in NYC (Feb. 3), Singapore (March 24), Hong Kong (April 28).

As the event webpage states, early Business Forecast events features panelists meeting in Chicago to offer discrete predictions about key economic indicators. As the years went on the event evolved to emphasize a broader, more multivariate style of thinking about the future economy. Business Forecast went on to become called Economic Outlook as the event spread from Chicago to other cities.
