I [Laurel Delaney] always go into monk mode from right around Christmas to the New Year to create my Global Trade Trends Report 2026 that is nothing less than 40 slides with a theme this year of Ireland – for those who need graphic appeal and not the boring globes on every slide :-(.

Hope you can join me on Wednesday, January 7, 2026 at 11 AM CT.  I'll cover a bunch of relevant global trade trends – from the global economy to supply chain issues to tariffs and AI.  There will be a bit of jumping around but that's exactly what we have to deal with as business owners this year.
