IN PERSON at Bucknell University

From increased production costs to shifting supply chains, small businesses face both challenges and opportunities in this changing economic landscape.

This panel discussion will explore how recently enacted tariffs – and changes to those tariffs – have impacted the U.S. economy. In addition to national implications, we’ll focus on the short- and long-term impacts on small businesses in our region. We’ll also examine whether tariffs could act as a catalyst for increased manufacturing in the U.S., potentially creating more job opportunities, or if they might lead to an economic slowdown and rising inflation.

Join us for an insightful discussion on what tariffs mean for your small business – and an opportunity to ask questions!
