The Future of the U.S. Economy in a Global Context

Keynote Speaker Larry Summers is one of the most distinguished voices on issues ranging from the global economy to education to the role of the United States in the world. He served in the Obama Administration as Director of the White House National Economic Council, he was Secretary of the Treasury during the Clinton Administration, he was the Chief Economist of the World Bank, and he served as President of Harvard University. His tenure as Secretary coincided with the longest period of sustained economic growth in U.S. history, and has made him an expert on domestic economics and a leading authority on international finance. During his tenure in the Obama Administration, Larry Summers emerged as a key economic decision-maker and continues to be called upon as the number one resource for the most pressing economic debates of the day.
