Preview: “The World Economy Should Enjoy
Smooth Sailing until 2010, but Watch out for

Jim Smith has been such a popular speaker at
previous VISION conferences and other
INDA events that it is hard to believe that his last
appearance at VISION was five years ago!
His topic this year, “An Economist’s Vision”, will

years and, more importantly, focus on what the
industry can expect in 2008 and beyond.
Winner of the Wall Street Journal Forecasting

known and most respected economists for
his “to the dime” forecasts.
