Management Conference

Friday, May 17 | 11 a.m. - 5:45 p.m.

Invigorate your thinking at the 61st annual Management Conference. Immerse yourself in spirited debate and rigorous inquiry into the big issues that transform our world.

The Future of Financial Regulation and Monetary Policy

Friday, May 17 | 12:45 - 2 p.m.

The Sheraton Chicago Hotel & Towers

In keeping with Chicago Booth tradition, we’ve assembled some of our world-class faculty and leading policy experts for a thought-provoking debate on the future of central bank policies.

What are the key challenges facing central banks around the world today? Central banks have embarked on bold and innovative new communication strategies - are they working? Can there be unintended consequences of these management strategies for asset markets? Can easy monetary policy undermine financial stability? We’ll look beyond fads and headlines, and dive into a deep examination of the forces shaping policies and markets.
