METALCON announced its keynote speakers for its tradeshow in Atlanta in October. Joe Theismann, former NFL quarterback, will deliver a keynote presentation Wednesday, Oct. 30. Also, Anirban Basu, chairman and CEO at Sage Policy Group Inc. based in Baltimore will present a keynote address on Thursday, Oct. 31.
In his keynote, Theismann will outline a game plan that brought him success, both on and off the field. As an entrepreneur and the former professional quarterback, he reveals his game plan for success by drawing parallels between winning in football and in business.
Theismann’s speech will focus on how to succeed under pressure and adapt quickly to unexpected situations. He will urge individuals and organizations to set goals, and correct errors each step of the way, an approach that builds momentum, which, once on your side, is hard for the best defense to stop.
Basu’s presentation is titled “The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly: Financial Outlook and Trends for Metal Construction.” He will provide an in-depth analysis of major factors shaping economic outcomes including interest rates, global geopolitical conflicts, wage dynamics, business confidence, demographics, rising consumer debt levels, and a presidential election, all conspiring to produce an economic downturn in 2025. Basu will also provide a forecast for the coming year, highlighting the major risks construction industry stakeholders will likely encounter, and if 2025 should be a good year for the metal construction and design industry.
Judy Geller, show director at METALCON, says, “We are thrilled to welcome [Theismann], a distinguished sports figure, and esteemed economist, [Basu,] as our keynote speakers this year. [Theismann’s] captivating life journey promises to ignite inspiration among attendees, while [Basu’s] profound insights into the economic landscape will provide invaluable foresight for the future of the metal construction and design industry.”
