The conference agenda will be a mix of general and concurrent breakout sessions with topics of interest to revenue estimators and state tax policy analysts.  Monday morning will begin with the usual economic outlook by the major forecasting firms and selected policy topics of interest to everyone.  In the afternoon, conference attendees will have a choice of two sessions featuring: detailed forecasts for specific sectors of the economy; and presentations of interest to tax policy researchers.

The entire day Tuesday will be dedicated to concurrent breakout sessions with a wide variety of specific topics. Some topics we are planning include: corporate tax issues, revenue forecasting issues, property tax relief, healthcare financing, data mining, and more.
