Economic and Policy Update – What to Expect for the Remainder of This Year and Beyond
The US macro economy finished last year on a strong note, with both the consumer and industrial (B2B) sectors carrying positive momentum into early 2025.

Attendees will walk away from the session with the following insights:
- Navigating the current macroeconomic climate.
