Dr. Kuehl Spring 2025 Economic Update

Tuesday, Apr. 15 at 11:00 am CDT

You may have seen Dr. Kuehl at 2025 Business & Leadership Conference in late February. There he outlined what to expect from various economic influences, including the tax and tariff policies of the new U.S. administration.

In case you haven’t noticed, things move quickly these days. Two months later seems like a perfect time for NSCA’s Chief Economist to deliver an update to the NSCA Community. As always, Dr. Kuehl cuts through the media spin and talks to integrators about what it all means for our industry.

Dr. Kuehl will provide integration industry-focused analysis on:

• How tariffs may or may not impact costs, product availability and manufacturing for integrators.
• Global matters such as turmoil in the Middle East and Europe
• Employment numbers and what they mean for integrators facing escalating labor costs
• Expectations for the residential and commercial construction markets
• Vertical markets that appear on the verge of growth (and those that do not)
• Insight into consumer behavior trends and expectations
• Questions from NSCA members in the audience

Dr. Kuehl has been providing economic insight and analysis directly to NSCA members for several years and has a unique understanding of the integration industry. During this webinar, NSCA’s chief economist zeros in on how economic trends may impact the NSCA Community.

In short, he’ll give it to us straight.
