Understanding the Economic "Recovery":
Challenges, Risks, and Opportunities
For many companies, 2010 prospects will be heavily influenced by the shape of the recovery and the new regulatory and economic policies. Now, more than ever, the uncertain economic climate is impacting corporate strategy. How will you adapt your strategy to stay ahead?

Join senior executives and thought leaders at our World Economic Outlook Conference on 20–21 October, where expert economists, industry analysts, and senior business practitioners will offer their insights regarding the recession and recovery, and the implications for businesses. The conference will focus on key economic and policy themes that will directly impact the business environment:

As the recovery unfolds, which countries and industries will offer the greatest opportunities?

Given the massive fiscal and monetary stimulus being applied, how big a threat are inflation and a dollar collapse?

Shifting energy and commodity prices—can they ever be pinned down?

How will the increasing role of government and strengthened regulatory regimes affect your business?

If this crisis marks the end of American consumerism, which regions will fill the gap in demand?
