Speeches
"I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation. I was
particularly happy you were able to discuss some of the issues in Clark
County. We had a lot of compliments." John Karas, President, Riverview
Asset Management
"You are a master at your craft and a favorite of our audience." Jim Parker, UBS Financial Services
"During
the course of his nine-year stint with First Interstate, the engaging
executive became known for the quick wit he displayed at numerous
speaking engagements." The Business Journal
"Bill
Conerly has never let me down. His outstanding delivery commands
attention, his message is understandable and always timely." Frank
Brawner, former President Oregon Bankers Association
"Your
presentation to ORA was the fourth time I have attended one of your
economic forecasts and each time I find your depth and breadth of
knowledge even more impressive. Your comments on the economy in general
are insightful, well researched and, perhaps most important, you have
the unique ability to distill them into language your listeners can
understand and relate to. Your talent to entertain while imparting
information is enviable. Our group was particularly impressed with your
knowledge of the the remodeling industry; you obviously did your
homework." Linda Schoffman, Oregon Remodelers Association
"Bill
Conerly is one of the most interesting and engaging speakers I have
ever heard. The fact that he is a very funny man is a bonus." James A.
Kronenberg, Associate Executive Director, Oregon Medical Association
"The Economic Outlook" is focused on the current issues of greatest concern to business managers and owners. Key issues include:
- The economic outlook for the nation and key industries.
- Financial markets: the outlook for interest rates and the stock market.
- The regional or industry outlook, based upon the interests of the particular audience.
This
presentation is always laced with commentary on current events and
anecdotes about current business challenges, such as maintaining
financial flexibility in a recession, getting ready for the recovery,
facing foreign competition. Specific content varies with the economy
and the audience.
The 20-Teens: Business Challenges and Opportunities in the Next Decade. What are the big changes coming in the next decade? Demographics, globalization, finance and technology are covered with a focus on what businesses should do today to prepare for tomorrow.
"Freedom and Prosperity: The Case for Optimism".
In this substantive yet inspiring presentation, Bill Conerly explains
the mechanism for economic growth around the world. He draws upon
sources ranging from professional economists to commentators such as
Francis Fukuyama (The End of History) and Thomas Friedman (The Lexus and the Olive Tree),
weaving in Nike and Brazilian soccer star Ronaldo. He connects economic
freedom and political freedom with economic performance, leading to a
surprising burst of optimism for the fate of the world in the coming
hundred years.
"What We've Learned About Investments from Bear Stearns, Enron, Tech and the Housing Bubble"
is a timely presentation which presents academic lessons in
common-sense language. Bill usually targets an audience of bright
people with no particular expertise in finance. He explains what went
wrong with many people's investment plans, and how to set it right for
the long run.
Humor is a Conerly trademark
("Never cut out jokes to make room for more statistics," he says),
helping to make complex subjects understandable.
