Real Estate & the U.S. Economy:
A Policy Discussion on 2017 & Beyond
10:00 am to 11:30 am
The U.S. real estate industry generates more than 20 percent of America’s GDP, employs more than 9 million people, and produces nearly two-thirds of the taxes raised by local governments for essential public services.
What is the relationship between the strength of the U.S. real estate market and the overall health of the economy? How do demographic shifts affect real estate trends? How will economic policy decisions in 2017 and beyond affect the strength of the real estate market? How can the real estate industry and government leaders work together to make homeownership and financial capital more accessible to first-time buyers, Millennials, and minorities? What policy and regulatory reforms are needed to maintain credit market capacity and capital formation? What innovations in technology and sustainability are impacting the industry?
At the Republican National Conventions, join The Hill and the National Real Estate Organizations to explore the state of the U.S. real estate market and the prospects for the industry in a new Congress and a new White House.

America's long-term global competitiveness is dependent on the development of a strong science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) workforce.

What policy reforms are needed at the federal, state, and local levels to support computer science education and put more computers in classrooms? What public-private partnerships are helping to engage young Americans in computer science and STEM?
The Hill and Microsoft will convene policymakers, industry executives, and educators to discuss work readiness and computer science education.

Gov. Asa Hutchinson, (R-AR)
