Opening & closing sessions to examine leading economic
indicators and growth predictors
(Washington, DC) – When the recycling industry faces
down markets, value is more important than ever. The Institute of Scrap
Recycling Industries (ISRI) is working to bring value to attendees through
on-point programs that can help companies steer through these times. The general
sessions at the 2016 Convention and Exposition (ISRI2016) do just that by
focusing on current economic conditions and how they factor into scrap
recycling operations.
“ISRI2016 is designed to
provide take-home value to everyone who attends,” said Chuck Carr, ReMA Vice
President of for Meetings, Education and Training. “We are in one of the most
complex and uncertain economic times in the industry’s history. Up-to-date
information on world economics, market conditions, and operational technology
is vital to navigating through these times. ISRI2016 provides the best
opportunities in the industry this year – a means for the smartest in the
industry to stay ahead of the competition.”
ISRI2016’s closing session will
feature Dr. Vikram Mansharamani, author of the best-selling book,
BOOMBUSTOLOGY: Spotting Financial Bubbles Before They Burst, and a professor at
Yale University and the MIT Sloan School of Management. His presentation will
focus on theories on the causes of economic bubbles, how to better predict
busts and avoid them in the future. Dr. Mansharamani will also look at what
will lead to a turn in global demand for raw materials, what countries are
likely to lead it and what is likely to be the cause and timing of these
events. Dr. Mansharamani’s session will take place on Thursday, April 7.
The conference will open its
education sessions on April 5 with another economy session that will feature a
panel of top economic and commodity investing experts. More details will be
released shortly. In between those sessions will be more than sixty workshops
and spotlights each geared to help recyclers improve efficiency, reduce costs,
and/or learn more about global markets.
Details of the educational
programs, registration and hotel information is available at www.ISRIConvention.org.
