Manufacturers are facing immediate challenges across their supply chains — from navigating tariff refunds and rising costs to managing supplier relationships and customer expectations. Many are also struggling to make decisions for 2027 and longer-term amid continued trade and policy uncertainty.

Join Wipfli and the founder of Inside Beltway, a DC-based advisory and research firm, to learn what recent policy developments mean for manufacturers — and how to plan for what’s next.

In this session, you’ll learn:

• What tariff changes and refund opportunities mean for pricing, margins and customer relationships.
• How emerging policy developments could influence tax, trade and regulatory decisions over the next one to two years.
• Practical considerations for planning through uncertainty, including sourcing, supplier negotiations and operational strategies.

Waiting for clarity isn’t a strategy. Join us to understand what’s happening in Washington and how it could affect your decisions and strategies in the months ahead.
