What:

The construction industry doesn’t stop moving—and neither do the challenges it faces. Rising material costs, labor shortages, shifting regulations and interest rate volatility have already tested your resilience. What’s next?

As 2025 begins, the questions are bigger than ever. Will the economy continue to defy expectations or are we staring down a slowdown? How will Federal Reserve policy and global uncertainty impact your business? And, most importantly, how can you position your company to thrive in this landscape?

Join Dr. Anirban Basu, a leading economist and expert on construction trends, for a keynote presentation that cuts through the noise and delivers clarity on the issues that matter most to your business.

  • A Clear View of 2025: What’s happening with the U.S. economy, from interest rates to infrastructure spending, and how it will ripple through the construction industry.
  • Insight into Regional Dynamics: Economic trends shaping our region and their implications for your projects.
  • Risk Mitigation Strategies: Key threats to watch and how to keep your business competitive, even in turbulent times.

This is not just another economic overview. It’s a practical, actionable session tailored for construction business owners who are ready to make informed decisions. If you want to maintain a competitive edge in a rapidly evolving industry, save your seat today!
