Alex Chausovsky, a leading economic advisor, market researcher and future trends analyst, will deliver a highly anticipated keynote address at METALCON 2025, the premier global event for the metal construction industry. His presentation, titled “Economic and Labor Market Update – What to Expect in 2025 & Beyond”, will take place on Wednesday, Oct. 22 at 9 a.m., in Las Vegas.
With more than 20 years of experience in economics, industrial manufacturing, automation, talent and workforce dynamics and emerging technology trends, Chausovsky serves as the director of analytics and consulting at The Bundy Group, an industry-focused investment bank specializing in business sales, acquisitions and capital raises.
During his keynote, he will address time-sensitive economic events currently shaping the landscape, including inflation, interest rates, tariffs, immigration, labor market conditions, consumer spending, business investment and industrial activity. He will provide an in-depth analysis of construction-related data and offer comprehensive insights into the evolving tariff landscape, examining its implications for key industry players.
According to Chausovsky, as the U.S. macroeconomy finished 2024 on a strong note, driven by consumer spending, the industrial sector (B2B) faced substantial headwinds. The Federal Reserve’s aggressive interest rate hikes effectively curbed inflation but also raised borrowing costs, stifling capital investment. With the rate-cutting cycle now underway, the Fed is navigating the delicate balance between controlling inflation and sustaining economic and job market stability. Looking ahead, leading indicators signal an improvement in the U.S. economy, but the Administration’s agenda will undoubtedly influence the trajectory.
Chausovsky will provide in-depth analysis of these macroeconomic trends and their implications for businesses across industries, offering practical and actionable insights for business leaders. His session will equip attendees with tools to better navigate the evolving economic climate, plan for future trends, and enhance their organization’s strategic planning initiatives.
Chausovsky’s expert insights have been sought by top media outlets including National Public Radio, the BBC and the Wall Street Journal. He has delivered hundreds of keynote presentations and webinars for small businesses, trade associations and Fortune 500 companies worldwide.
“We are thrilled to welcome Mr. Chausovsky to the event stage in Las Vegas,” said METALCON Vice President of Trade Shows, Judy Geller. “His presentation will provide invaluable insights that attendees can apply immediately to become more data-driven decision-makers in running their businesses.”
METALCON 2025 takes place from Oct. 21 – 23 at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
