Event Information (passed)
UC Real Estate Center’s February Roundtable Series presents the 28th annual UC/PNC Economic Outlook Conference. The program will be held live, on Friday, Feb. 18, 2022, at the Hyatt Regency in downtown Cincinnati. Check-in and networking will begin at 7:30 a.m. followed by breakfast and program from 8–9:30 a.m.
Registration is required for all attendees at least three days in advance of the event as seating is limited.
The annual event, co-hosted by PNC and the University of Cincinnati Real Estate Center, has historically drawn capacity crowds to various downtown Cincinnati venues since 1993. Financial and economic experts provide views on the Cincinnati and U.S. economy, major real estate sectors, as well as market forecasts and economic projections for the current year and beyond.
The program welcomes the return of PNC Bank’s senior economic adviser, Stuart Hoffman. Hoffman, a long-standing speaker for the event, will deliver key points from PNC’s 2022 economic forecast, with insights on economic variables such as real GDP, interest rates, inflation, housing, the labor market, and industrial production.
Joining Hoffman as a featured speaker will be Greg Valliere, chief policy strategist for AGF Investments. Valliere will build upon Hoffman's economic commentary and deliver his perspective on trends and policies that may shape future markets.
“Both Stu and Greg always deliver very focused, insightful and thought-provoking dialogue,” said Carl Goertemoeller, executive director of the UC Real Estate Center. “We are very privileged to have Stu and Greg join us, as always.”
