Members Only – TABC Semi-Annual Meeting in Europe
TABC holds two meetings (one in Brussels, one in Washington) each year to discuss the status of the organization’s top priorities, policy work, and key events. This year’s Europe meeting will host Adam Shub, Charge d’Affaires, U.S. Mission to the EU, who will provide a forecast on the likely EU-U.S. agenda for the remainder of the Juncker Commission. An official from DG Trade has also been invited to discuss EU’s Strategy toward China’s Industrial Policy and transatlantic cooperation on China. There will be a light sandwich lunch served afterwards for networking.
