SENIOR FORECASTER & KEYNOTE MANAGERConnor Lokar brings a strategist’s discipline to economic forecasting, helping executives turn business-cycle intelligence into clearer decisions about growth, profitability, investment, and risk. As Senior Forecaster & Keynote Manager at ITR Economics, Connor specializes in advising businesses across industries on how to grow revenue and remain profitable through changing economic conditions. Known for delivering “practical economic intelligence with charm and candor,” he helps leadership teams move beyond reacting to headlines and instead align strategy, resources, and timing with what the data is signaling.
Since joining ITR Economics in 2014, Connor has delivered economic keynotes, workshops, and webinars across North America, earning recognition for presenting with “authority, accuracy, and humor” in settings ranging from executive retreats to standing-room-only keynotes. His work focuses on the decisions that matter most to business leaders: pricing, capacity, capital investment, labor, construction demand, industrial activity, inflation, interest rates, and long-term planning. Whether guiding industry leaders through next year’s outlook, helping companies plan amid tariffs and sticky interest rates, or translating leading indicators into strategic action, Connor gives executives the clarity to act before the cycle changes around them.
He has been featured in articles from AMT Online, NTD, The Epoch Times, and more.
Book Connor Today
"From a meeting planner standpoint, Connor was the ultimate professional. He arrived early, was easy to accommodate and navigated the stage and room with professionalism. He also peppered his presentation with humor and relatable insight that truly reached the audience. Our employee owners left the room with a better understanding of their state and national economy, and are now armed to make decisions with a clear understanding of how the big picture affects their individual operation."
Jeff Chastain
Public Relations Director, E.C. Barton & Company"Connor is an engaging speaker who is able to present a tremendous amount of economic data in a light-hearted and meaningful way. His mainstage event at ACCA’s Annual Conference provided HVAC contractors with a medium-term economic outlook, enabling them to prepare their businesses for the changes that are expected in the U.S. and world economies. I’ve had the pleasure to watch Connor speak at numerous HVAC industry events, and I always learn something new. ACCA looks forward to working with him and ITR at future events, and we always welcome his wit and wisdom!"
Paul T. Stalknecht
President & CEO, Air Conditioning Contractors of America"I was very impressed by Connor's presentation, especially his (relatively) easy to understand explanations of economic market forces. He is a very confident and engaging speaker who is able to keep his audience engaged and instill information that actually sticks with you well beyond the date of the event!!"
