You are invited to join economists, analysts, students and others alongside the Clark Fork River at the Holiday Inn-Parkside in Missoula, Montana.

The conference will kick off Thursday morning with the National Outlook presented by Nigel Gault of Global Insight followed by the Outlook Panel with forecasters from states and provinces. 

The conference theme is “Opportunities and Challenges in the Pacific Northwest Hinterlands”. We expect panel discussions and paper presentations in energy, tourism, demographics, health care, trade and resource use as well as linkages with the urban core of the Pacific Northwest including British Columbia and Alberta. The conference will end early Friday afternoon with the Tiebout Lecture by John Cromartie a geographer with the USDA Economic Research Service.

Registration and hotel information will be available in early January 2010.

As conference host for 2010, The University of Montana Bureau of Business and Economic Research is excited to welcome PNREC back to Missoula and we look forward to seeing all of you there.
