Join us on August 28th for the latest AYI webinar designed to give chapter executives a better understanding of the mechanics of tariffs and how they will impact our space. 

Tariffs imposed by the current administration continue to disrupt domestic material pricing and impact international costs for steel, aluminum, copper, and equipment—creating significant business uncertainty and confusion in project bidding. These ongoing changes in tariff and trade regulations are affecting both public and private sector project planning.

What You’ll Learn: 

This timely webinar is explicitly designed for SMACNA chapter executives. It will provide: 

  • A current tariff and trade update. 
  • Insight into federal tariff policy direction. 
  • Practical guidance on contractual responses—how to revise existing agreements and incorporate protective clauses into future contracts to address volatile material costs. 

Stay informed and empowered to manage the risks associated with today’s shifting trade landscape.

We encourage you to review the FAQs on SMACNA’s website before the webinar.
