El entorno macroeconómico sigue generando una incertidumbre considerable en el ámbito empresarial, marcada por la intermitencia de los aranceles comerciales y el conflicto en Irán —que persiste y eleva los costos de la energía. Por otro lado, el aumento de los beneficios empresariales y de las inversiones constituye una señal positiva. Estos y otros cambios macroeconómicos están afectando al sector de las ferias comerciales e influyendo en la participación tanto de expositores como de asistentes. Acompañe a Omneya Fahmy, economista de CEIR, y a Nancy Drapeau, de IPC, en una sesión dinámica que ofrecerá un informe sobre la situación del sector en el primer semestre de 2026 y analizará los factores macroeconómicos clave que influirán en su evolución futura.

The macroeconomic environment continues to infuse substantial uncertainty in the business environment, with on again, off again trade tariffs, launch of the Iran War that persists and driving energy costs upwards. On the upside, corporate profits and investments are up, positive signs. These and other macroeconomic shifts are impacting the environment in which trade shows operate, influencing participation from both exhibitors and attendees. Join CEIR’s economist Omneya Fahmy and Nancy Drapeau, IPC for a dynamic session that will provide a report on the state of the industry in the first half of 2026 and will explore macroeconomic factors to watch to influence the industry moving forward.
