Conerly for IMA 2009 Spring Conference
"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 Small Business Financial Crisis" How the mortgage crisis is affecting the availability of credit--and what small and medium business can do about it to ensure that they can meet their borrowing needs. Along the way we'll explain how globalization is changing the world of finance, how securitization is impacting all business borrowers, with a clear emphasis on action steps that should be started today.
"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.

People use this label in different ways, so here's the data: Bill always has strong content, emphasizing actionable ideas that corporate executives and small business owners can implement immediately.
