Why Free Markets Matter For Metals

February 12, 2026 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM CDT

An anti-market sentiment appears to be dominating the global landscape. How can businesses, their executives, and employees— who strive to innovate and create value for the world— not only navigate this climate, but thrive in it?

Join MSCI President and CEO Bob Weidner for a fireside chat with U.S. Chamber of Commerce Executive Vice President, Chief Policy Officer, and Head of Strategic Advocacy Neil Bradley.

The industrial metals industry sustains millions of jobs across North America. Without the products MSCI member companies and their employers make and shape, modern life would not be possible. Yet, higher taxation, burdensome regulations, and a general anti-business attitude threaten to undermine this positive impact the industrial metals industry has.

In this webinar, Weidner and Bradley will tackle:

  • The positive impact businesses have on communities and families — and how to highlight that impact;
  • Growing threats to capitalism and why they matter to the metals industry;
  • How businesses can survive and thrive in this climate;
  • A pro-growth agenda that will drive innovation; and more.
