The program will look at policy from a general EU and key member states perspective and how this impacts North American importers and exporters. Plus key insights into how the EU works in conjunction with EU Nation States. Tired of attending conferences full of hot air and little substance with speaker lists acting as delegates? Nielsonsmith does things differently. Our tried and tested model is unique in the conference industry with expert speakers giving in depth presentations to a room full of peers, there to discuss debate and enter into dialogue. Often lively and always informative, our conferences break the age old death by power point cycle of dull box-ticking and ensure our delegates, speakers and sponsors leave with new perspectives and networks. I believe in organizing, you exceeded last years (already high) level people got really involved, very interesting and informative. Just to let you know, great conference set-up, very professional speakers, great interaction during the presentations, very professional high standard participants and I learned a lot I consider an OK conference when I learn 3 new things to take to the office, at this one; I have learned 50 new things. I wrote five pages of notes on one presentation, never done that before at a conference. A few kind comments from some of our delegates, need I say more? A good conference is built on delegate participation, at Nielsonsmith we strive to build a platform where the delegate can openly discuss the matter at hand in a room full of peers. Indepth presentations with extended Q&A time to get the answers uppermost in your mind. We will be achieving this again in Washington D.C. next February. To Register call the Booking Hotline +44 (0)
