It is not too soon to start thinking about the 2011 ICPA conference in Phoenix.
One of the features of the conference will be the workshops on the last day. The ICPA conference already has a reputation for being a "hands-on" type event. The workshops will be the epitome (is that a good word?) of this. John Priecko and I were asked to do the planning for the workshops. There will be both export and import sessions. We are already finalizing the subjects and beginning to identify potential speakers. Stay tuned to the ICPA site for news on the conference and plan to be in sunny Phoenix next March. Be sure to include the workshops in your plans!

There are several changes coming down the pike that are likely to be hot topics for Phoenix:
ReplyDeleteNew Incoterms
National Export Initiative
IPR enforcement
Related party pricing
....and, hopefully, encryption export regulatory changes! (OK - That may just be a hot topic for a few of us.)
ReplyDeleteA very hot topic in Washington DC in the trade compliance arena is the President's Export Control Reform Initiative. Hopefully we'll have someone there at our March 2011 Conference who will provide the current status, what to expect and what's really going on. Reforms are long overdue, but based on previous similar attempts to make fundamental changes, things always get bogged down in a variety of interagency and Congressional turf battles. Hopefully this time around the needed, real and significant reforms will actually happen. Stay tuned...
