November 19th, Dupré Logistics, LLC hosted its Annual Client Colloquium featuring a presentation by one of the country’s most informed economists Dr. Alan Beaulieu. Dr. Beaulieu presented his informed projections on the future of the economy and predicted increased economic growth in late 2016, 2017 and 2018.

Preceding the dinner, some of the attendees also participated in the first annual round table discussion on the trends that are impacting Dupre’s clients across their multifaceted logistics business. The panel consisted of industry experts from across Dupre’s client base and added a tremendous value to the attendees.

Dr. Beaulieu is a principal of the ITR Economics where he serves as President. Since 1990, he has been consulting with companies throughout the US, Europe, and Asia on how to forecast, plan, and increase their profits based on business cycle trend analysis. Alan is also the Senior Economic Advisor to NAW, Contributing Editor for Industry Week, and the Chief Economist for HARDI.

Dr. Beaulieu is co-author, along with his brother Brian, of the book MAKE YOUR MOVE, and has written numerous articles on economic analysis. He makes up to 150 appearances each year, and his keynotes and seminars have helped thousands of business owners and executives capitalize on emerging trends. Prior to joining ITR Economics, Dr. Beaulieu was a principal in a steel fabrication company and also in a software development company.

“Considering the recent downturn in the oil and gas industry and the unknown we continue to face, we felt that Dr. Beaulieu’s analysis would provide added value to our business partners. It not only strengthens our relationships with our clients, but also allows us to come together with them to plan for the future in a very informed way,” said Dupré Logistics President and Chief Commercial Officer Tom Voelkel.
