    The Greater Houston Partnership presents the 2012 Houston Region Economic Outlook Conference, Thursday, December 8, 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. WHERE: Westin Galleria | 5060 West Alabama, Houston, TX.

    While the rest of the nation struggles Houston prospers. No other major metro area has recovered faster than Houston has. In fact, some pundits have begun to use the B-word, “boom,” to describe the region’s rapid job growth.

    Can Houston maintain the pace next year? Will the European debt crisis derail Houston’s expansion? And what about the sectors that continue to struggle, like finance, construction and real estate? How soon before they return to their pre-recession peaks?

    To hear the answer to those questions, join us December 8th at GHP’s 2012 Houston Region Economic Outlook Conference. During the conference, experts from the business community will share their insights into the economy; GHP will unveil its 2012 employment forecast, and Thomas J. Donohue, (pictured) President and CEO of U.S. Chamber of Commerce will discuss the U.S. and global economic outlooks.

    Industry Panelists Include:

    • Daniel G. Bellow, President, Jones Lang LaSalle Americas, Inc.
    • Chris Bernard, Entrepreneurship, Innovation & Design Startup Director and Advisor, Microsoft
    • Lupe Fraga, Chairman and CEO, Tejas Office Products, Inc.
    • Nathaniel Karp, Economist, BBVA North America
    • Cynthia B. Taylor, CEO, Oil States International, Inc.

    Moderated by Len Cannon, KHOU-TV

    Take part in this important discussion as we close 2011 and start thinking about factors that will impact your business in 2012.
