Summers to Keynote at RICS Americas Summit

The RICS Summit of the Americas is set for April 3 through 5 at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in Washington, DC.

WASHINGTON, DC—“Most of what drives boom and bust cycles comes from outside the real estate transaction sector, but those who are wise enough to buy low and sell high operate to stabilize markets,” says former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers. “Those who are prudent with leverage reduce boom and bust cycles, and those with a sophisticated knowledge of historical turbulence give advice and encourage their clients to be prudent.”

Summers will headline the upcoming RICS Summit of the Americas, scheduled for April 3 through 5 at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in Washington, DC. There, he’ll give a keynote speech on the economic cycle and then lead a panel of industry CEOs, focusing on the boom and bust cycle and how it affects industry firms and the broader economy.
