Event Synopsis:
After U.S. President Trump's formal announcement of his plan to renegotiate NAFTA last May 18, 2017, trade professionals and practitioners are now in hot debate about the objectives, key pointers and potential challenges of the said uptake. The mandatory 90-day period which has started on the day of the announcement and will conclude on August 16th, will be critical for everyone as renegotiation points and other public comments are expected to be discussed.

Moreover, since the official renegotiation is yet to be started and preparations are still on, U.S., Mexican and Canadian companies doing international businesses must closely monitor the latest updates to be kept informed.

Join a panel of key thought leaders and trade professionals assembled by The Knowledge Group as they bring the audience to a road beyond the basics of NAFTA renegotiation and as they delve into the depth-analysis of the latest updates involving this significant issue. Speakers will also provide the audience, particularly international companies, with practical strategies and tips on how to cope with possible changes that may be brought by the upcoming renegotiation.

Some of the major topics that will be covered in this course are:
- North America Free Trade Agreement (“NAFTA”) – Legal Framework
- Trump's Initial Steps
- Renegotiation Points
- Anticipated Opportunities
- Potential Challenges
- Strategies and Tips for U.S., Mexican and Canadian Companies
