ISM-Philadelphia: Navigate 2026 with Confidence: Expert Economic Insights for Supply Chain Leaders
Join us for an exclusive session with Paul Lee, Director of ISM Research & Analytics, as we uncover the secrets behind the ISM® Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI®)—one of the most trusted early indicators of U.S. economic performance.
Paul will break down the PMI® methodology, explain how it tracks critical supply chain metrics like new orders, production, and employment, and show why these insights are essential for forecasting and strategic planning.
In the second half, Paul will connect the latest PMI® trends to broader economic indicators such as GDP growth and interest rate expectations. You’ll walk away with actionable strategies to interpret economic signals and strengthen your decision-making.
