Webinar Description:
Since January 2025, the new U.S. administration has ushered in sweeping changes to the business landscape. From escalating trade tariffs to federal spending cuts affecting grants, departments, jobs, and some industry sectors are feeling the impact more than others. On the upside, the extension of the 2017 tax cuts is expected to lift household incomes and support consumer spending. These and other macroeconomic shifts are reshaping the environment in which trade shows operate, influencing participation from both exhibitors and attendees.
Join CEIR’s economist Adam Sacks and Nancy Drapeau, IPC for a dynamic session that explores what these changes mean for the business-to-business exhibitions industry. Adam will provide a timely macroeconomic update, followed by an engaging conversation with Nancy. This session is designed to be interactive—come ready to listen, ask questions, and share your own insights with fellow organizer executives.
