Despite all the uncertainty and volatility around geopolitical events and US trade and tax policy, the
economy weathered 2025 relatively well. Now that the tax landscape is clearer and tariffs on most of
America’s trade partners are in effect, can a similar performance be expected in 2026, or will the war in
the Middle East derail the economy and raise the prospect of recession?
The latest economic data suggests growth is stable, inflation is moderating, and the labor market is
bending but not breaking. What does this mean for the FED’s policy on interest rates moving forward?
Will we see a boost to investment and a rebound in confidence, or will 2026 bring more of the same?
More specifically, what are key leading indicators telling us about the direction of the economy?

The world of geopolitics is constantly changing, often with significant ramifications. As we transition to a
multipolar world, there are shifting global alliances and multiple hot spots around the world, some of
which have the potential to turn into full-out war. Not to mention tariffs, sanctions, trade embargoes
and many other disruptive forces at work. All of this impacts your business – sometimes directly and
sometimes indirectly. There are financial, operational, strategic, and social implications that business
leaders and key decision makers must be aware of to successfully navigate the evolving geopolitical
environment.
In this session, you’ll hear from two experts (who happen to be brothers) – one on geopolitics and one
on business strategy – whose insights and advice will be paramount as you seek to understand the world
around you and plan for your organizational future.
First, Eugene Chausovsky, the Senior Director at New Lines Institute, a Washington D.C.-based think
tank, will delve into the latest geopolitical developments around the globe. He’ll provide a fascinating
and objective perspective on the motivations, driving factors, and consequences of recent events,
putting them into context relative to the broader world and helping you understand why the
governments of countries act the way they do.
Next, Alex Chausovsky, the President of 3DM Consulting, will deliver an insightful analysis of how these
events will impact the macroeconomic landscape and how they could affect the outlook for your
business. He’ll explain the potential impact on supply chains, input prices, and transportation and
logistics dynamics, among others. Most importantly, he’ll offer practical and actionable advice for
business leaders based on today’s geopolitical forces. ...less
