As part of its ongoing initiative to further International Trade Education
and to educate its attendees on current issues relating to their companies'
import and export activities, the Virginia Conference on World Trade
initiated the International Trade Certificate Program at the 2003 Conference.
The emphasis then, as now, was to present topics covering practical,
day-to-day issues faced by International Business practitioners and to
relay real-world solutions which could be taken back to the workplace
by the participants. In addition, sessions were offered covering "hot
button" current and upcoming trade issues. The goal was to provide
takeaways of real value to all companies, thus increasing the overall
value proposition of the Conference.
Following in that same philosophy, the 2008 Trade Certificate Program, now in its sixth year, will provide an array of topics which will have an appeal across the spectrum of Mid-Atlantic importers and exporters, presented by acknowledged experts in the fields of each subject presented.
The topics covered will be:
HTS Classification
Free Trade Agreements
Managing Compliance In-House
