Renowned Economist Dr. Shawn DuBravac to Speak at ABC 2025
The NMMA is pleased to announce that leading economist and futurist Dr. Shawn DuBravac will serve as a featured speaker at the 2025 American Boating Congress (ABC), bringing his forward-looking economic expertise to the recreational boating industry’s premier advocacy event.
Dr. DuBravac, president of Avrio Institute and former chief economist of the Consumer Technology Association, is widely recognized for his ability to connect macroeconomic trends with industry-specific implications.
At ABC 2025, Dr. DuBravac will break down key economic indicators—such as inflation, consumer sentiment, interest rates, and shifting labor dynamics—and explore what they mean for marine manufacturers, retailers, and boating stakeholders. He will provide valuable context around evolving market forces and offer strategic foresight to help businesses navigate the current economic climate and prepare for what's ahead.
Dr. DuBravac’s analysis will be especially timely as the industry works to adapt to fluctuating demand, changes in discretionary spending, and global trade developments. The presentation is a must-attend for marine industry leaders looking to ground their planning amid an increasingly complex economic landscape.
