Beacon Economics and the Bay Area Council Economic Institute (BACEI) presented the 3rd annual East Bay Economic Forecast Conference: Green Energy as Economic Engine: How Real, How Soon? The conference gave an in-depth look at where the national, state, and East Bay economies are headed in 2010 from some of California’s leading forecasters. A panel of experts candidly discussed the abilities and limitations of the surging green energy industry to act as an economic engine for the East Bay, the state, and the nation.

Attendees receive Beacon's new 2009 East Bay Economic Forecast Book. This original, in-depth look at the region’s labor markets, income, real estate markets, demographic trends, and other indicators, is a valuable and enduring resource for anyone facing important economic and financial decisions over the next year.
