Beyond the Headlines: Navigating Tariffs and Trade Disruption with Strategy and Insight

In an era where global trade disruptions and evolving tariff policies continue to pressure middle market businesses, surface-level headlines aren’t enough. This exclusive Mid-Market Council event will cut through the noise and deliver a deep, sector-specific view of today’s trade environment—and what lies ahead. Join Mathew Mermigousis, Principal and Leader of BDO’s Customs and International Trade Services (CITS) group, and Michael Gregory, CFA, Deputy Chief Economist at BMO, for an expert-driven conversation on:

· The real-time impact of tariffs across key industry sectors, with insights grounded in on-the-ground data and global trade experience.

· A forward-looking economic view, helping you anticipate potential shifts in trade policy, regulatory frameworks, and global supply chains.

· Proven mitigation strategies, including duty deferral programs, foreign trade zones, trade credits, restructured supply chains, and the emerging role of AI and innovation in managing tariff-related costs.

Whether you’re navigating import/export decisions, restructuring operations, or planning for economic uncertainty, this program offers not just perspective—but practical solutions.
