We’re back! Now in its 15th year, this annual conference provides a unique opportunity for the U.S. business community to interact with key representatives from the OECD Centre for Tax Policy and Administration (“CTPA”) as well as key members of the OECD’s Committee on Fiscal Affairs: including Pascal Saint–Amans, Director, CTPA, and Grace Perez–Navarro, Deputy Director, CTPA. Speakers will also include Martin Kreienbaum, Chair of the OECD’s Committee on Fiscal Affairs and Director General for International Taxation at the German Federal Ministry of Finance, and key US Treasury officials.
