APCAC Washington Doorknock 2019
Washington DC, USA | 14 - 19 July 2019
Access Key Decisions Makers and Thought Leaders!
AmCham Australia is pleased to offer your business the opportunity to send a representative on the AmCham Washington Doorknock 2019.
This is an unparalleled opportunity for Australian business leaders to meet in person with the decision makers in Washington, DC. Even if your business has government relations experts in the US, this is still an important opportunity for business people from Australia to take their place at the policy table and come face-to-face with key industry leaders and agencies including the Department of Commerce, and some of the most influential players in Congress.
We also plan to meet with experts and analysts from major think tanks, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, counterparts from other Asia-Pacific AmChams, the Australian Ambassador to the US and his Washington team, and more.
Hearing directly from businesses operating on the ground in Australia is an essential ingredient for lawmakers to understand the knock on effects of trade and investment decisions made in Washington.
This year, AmCham will advocate for reforms that matter most to our businesses: new directions in trade, the treatment of Australian investment in the U.S, the double taxation treaty, IP protection, the digital economy, and initiatives that strengthen ties between the U.S. and Australia.
This delegation is being led by AmCham CEO April Palmerlee and spaces are very limited.
