Keynote Speaker

Christopher Thornberg, Ph.D.
Founding Partner, Beacon Economics

 

Christopher Thornberg, Ph.D., has been called many things throughout his career, but his favorite thing to be called is correct. Notably, he predicted the collapse of the sub-prime real estate bubble in 2006 and the Great Recession that followed. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he was one of the few economists on record to correctly push back against the forecasting community’s panicked predictions of a depression. In the past two years, he has again stood against the grain, accurately forecasting that there would be no recession.

Thornberg left a teaching position at UCLA’s Business School in 2006 to found Beacon Economics, and under his leadership, the firm has become one of the nation’s most respected economic research organizations. He consults globally for private industry, cities, counties, and public agencies, challenging us to question popular narratives and to ask the right economic questions.

Thornberg’s keynote will be held on Wednesday, March 26 at 2:30 p.m. at InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown.
