Keynote
In true Chicago Booth style, we’ve assembled some of our world-class faculty and accomplished practitioners for a thought-provoking debate on the future of transportation.
What are the foreseeable changes in transportation technology? How are prices and incentives to innovate affected by world economic growth? What are the economic and national security implications of current dependence on fossil fuels? We’ll look beyond fads and headlines, and dive into a deep examination of the forces shaping energy markets and policies.
