Change is all around us and if the last two years have taught us anything, it’s that we have had to be nimble, willing to try new things, and stay vigilant as we adapt to a new normal. CBER’s Outlook this Spring will focus on what the new normal is — the “endemic economy” — as we move from one phase of the pandemic to another and what we can expect in the coming year.
Join us and our event partner, UNLV Lied Center for Real Estate, as we examine CBER’s economic forecasts for the United States and Southern Nevada, and bring together keynote speakers, and subject-matter experts for conversations on housing, workforce, inflation, and economic diversification.
Our program for Outlook will focus on the following:
- Economic forecasts (population growth, GDP, gaming, tourism, employment, etc.) for this year through early 2024.
- The transition of the pandemic to an endemic and what that means for tourism, workers, inflation, economic diversification, etc.
- UNLV Lied Center for Real Estate will lead a panel and presentations on housing and the opportunities and challenges ahead for the industry in Southern Nevada.
