Economic Futures
Presenter: Jim Zitek

Title: Is it possible to determine where the economy and markets will be in 2013 or 2015?

 

In spite of the economy and markets being very complex, dynamic and behavior oriented, it is possible to forecast the future if you are not ridgeley positive or negative; if you understand how the markets work today vs. yesterday and if you have a platform from which to view the big events. We will discuss the platform and the view at the SIG.

Technology Futures

Title: Future Technologies in Energy

Presenters: Brian Toren and Hank Lederer

Abstract: In the future, civilization will be forced to research and develop alternative energy sources. Our current rate of fossil fuel usage will lead to an energy crisis this century. In order to survive the energy crisis many companies in the energy industry are inventing new ways to extract energy from renewable sources. While the rate of development is slow, mainstream awareness and government pressures are growing. This SIG addresses the future of energy technologies.
