The Soundings Trade Only Group today announced the “3Ts Summit,” a free, virtual event designed to give marine industry professionals insights into trade, tariffs and taxes, as well as the shifting global policy landscape. The session is scheduled for July 16 from 9 to 10:30 a.m.
“These three T’s — trade, tariffs and taxes — are dominating business leaders’ conversations across industries, and the marine sector is no exception,” Soundings Trade Only Group vice president and general manager Michele J. Goldsmith said in a statement. “As the global landscape continues to shift, it’s critical to understand how these changes may impact our industry and where opportunities for growth exist.”
The summit will open with a presentation from Malloy McDaniel, partner at S-3 Group, who will deliver a strategic update from Washington, D.C., offering a real-time “dashboard” of where things stand on federal tax legislation, trade priorities and tariff policies.
Following McDaniel, Goldsmith will moderate a panel of industry advocacy leaders offering regional perspectives from across the United States, Canada and Europe. Panelists include:
• Robyn Boerstling, senior vice president of government relations, National Marine Manufacturers Association
• Marie-France Poirier MacKinnon, executive director, NMMA Canada
• Philip Easthill, secretary general, European Boating Industry
• John DePersenaire, director of government affairs and sustainability, Viking Yacht Co.
The panel will explore how current and proposed policies are affecting the marine industry in key geographic regions, what businesses should know now, and how to position companies for future success. Topics will include competitiveness, global trade policy shifts, supply-chain planning, and how to thrive in a dynamic and unpredictable economic environment.
