IDC Webinar offers deep dive into IT purchasing in Canada and Mexico

In response to the growing concern over economic volatility about the flow of trade between countries, IDC, the global leader in trusted technology intelligence, is hosting a webinar on Wednesday, April 16 for technology and business leaders navigating the current situation.

“We know that business leaders have many questions about the impact tariffs will have on IT spending for 2025. Our March survey of IT executives revealed that tariffs are the number one risk to IT spending plans,” said Meredith Whalen, IDC chief research and data officer. “With conditions shifting rapidly, IDC is closely monitoring developments and will continue to deliver the insights tech leaders need to navigate both the near-term disruption and the longer-term consequences of economic uncertainty.”

In this webinar, IDC analysts will share early insights from business leaders and IT buyers in the US, Canada, and Mexico regarding the consequences of any future regional trade war. They will assess the tech implications of growing uncertainty regarding tariffs, government policies, and a possible recession.

Key insights shared:

• A deep dive into changes in IT purchasing in Canada and Mexico as trading conditions are subject to rapid change.
