Closing keynote speaker, Stephen Moore, economist and editorial board member for the Wall Street Journal, offers useful insight for budget-minded professionals.

He has served as a senior economist on the Congressional Joint Economic Committee and as a senior economics fellow at the Cato Institute, where he published dozens of studies on federal and state tax and budget policy.
