Building and relying on the historic investments and funding from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)\, the blueprint sets ambitious but achievable targets and actions across all modes of transport for 2030\, 2040 and 2050.\n\nAs a major enabler of this strategy\, the IRA is perceived around the world as a crucial step in the global decarbonization efforts\, with massive opportunities for clean energy production and manufacturing in the United States.\n\nPlease join us for a high-level discussion on what type of policies are being implemented on both sides of the Atlantic to decarbonize transportation\, how they will play out in maritime and air transportation\, and on supply chains\, what opportunities exist for companies active in the areas of clean energy production and manufacturing\, and more.\n\nSamuel K. Skinner\, Former Secretary of Transportation & Chief of Staff to President George H.W. Bush will be offering the keynote speech.\n\nTOPICS FOR DISCUSSION\n\n What is the place of the IRA in the U.S. National Blueprint for Transportation Decarbonization and how will it benefit the decarbonization efforts of companies in the United States?\n What similar policies for transportation decarbonization are being implemented in the EU?\n What are the opportunities for cooperation between the EU and the U.S. in these areas?\n What initiatives are being taken locally by Miami-Dade County to decarbonize transportation\, its ports and airports?\n What is the business case for decarbonizing supply chains?\n What are the opportunities for European companies already established in the US/Florida and/or considering expanding operations to the US/Florida?\n\nSPEAKERS\n\n David Canard-Volland\, VP Supply Chain Management and Emmanuel Desbats\, National Sales Development Manager – Clasquin\n Gzim Ocakoglu – First Counselor on Mobility and Transport\, EU Delegation in Washington DC\n Samuel K.

The sharp downturn in growth was expected to be widespread\, with World Bank forecasts in 2023 revised down for 95% of advanced economies and nearly 70% of emerging market and developing economies. Although the economic indicators at the start of 2023 seem to be more favorable than expected\, any new adverse development—such as higher-than-expected inflation\, abrupt rises in interest rates to contain it\, a resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic\, or escalating geopolitical tensions—could push the global economy into recession.\n\nIn this program\, a transatlantic panel of C-Suite women joined by Arancha González Laya\, former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Spain and Dean of the School of International Affairs at Sciences Po in Paris\, will explore these and other challenges faced by global companies in this uncertain global geopolitical and economic environment.\n\nSPEAKERS\n\n Carol Cabezas\, President – Azamara Cruise Lines\n Arancha Gonzalez-Laya\, Dean of the Paris School of International Affairs at Sciences Po (Paris)\n Nadine Heubel\, former CEO Heinemann Americas; Senior Managing Director – Travel Retail North America & Global Wholesale – Newmark\n Daniella Silberstein\, Shareholder – Greenberg Traurig and Co-chair of GT’s Miami Women’s Initiative [Moderator]\n Monica Vazquez\, Executive Vice President & General Manager – Abanca USA\n\nTOPICS FOR DISCUSSION\n\n What are the economic perspectives for 2023 and is recession still a risk?\n How will business investment respond to recent changes in asset prices and the commitment of monetary policymakers around the world to slower growth?\n What are the perspectives for the transatlantic relationship in relation to business and trade ?\n What will the return of industrial policy in the U.S. (with the Inflation Reduction Act) mean for transatlantic investment and trade?\n What will be the longer-term ramifications for global fragmentation of the sanctions imposed on Russia and on Chinese semiconductors?\n Are there new roles for China\, India and in particular Latin America in this new economic environment?\n How are these trends playing out in places like Florida and Miami in their efforts to establish themselves as global business hubs?\n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Event schedule\n\n 8.30 am – 8.45 am:   Registration & Coffee\n 8.45 am – 9:45 am:   Program\n 9:45 am – 10.30 am: Networking\n\nRegistration Fee\n\n EACC Member: Free\n Guest with Promo Code: Free\n EACC Non-Member: $30\n Online attendance: Free\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_btn title=”IN PERSON ATTENDANCE” color=”blue” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eventbrite.com%2Fe%2Fbusiness-in-flux-perspectives-from-a-transatlantic-panel-of-c-suite-women-registration-525121952897″][vc_btn title=”ONLINE ATTENDANCE” color=”blue” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fgtlaw.zoom.us%2Fmeeting%2Fregister%2FtJ0ldOysrz8jHtehbaaOw2u70Mw8bt2mjc3G”][/vc_column][vc_column][vc_column_text]Speaker Bios\n\nCarol Cabezas\n\nCarol Cabezas is the President of Azamara.\n\nShe is responsible for the full range of operations of the cruise line including Sales\, Marketing\, Revenue\, Finance\, Deployment and Shipboard Operations.  Carol’s dedication to the cruise industry with a career spanning over two decades stems from her passion for travel\, and cruise in particular.\n\nPrior to that\, Carol was Vice President of Investor Relations for Royal Caribbean Group\, managing relationships with the global investor and analyst community.

However\, the ongoing global pandemic and the past limitations on international business travel and employee transfers\, have exacerbated an already complex immigration situation and will most likely continue impacting global organizations.\n\nIn fact\, in a survey conducted in September by the EACC Network\, nearly 90% of respondents said the travel restrictions alone impacted their company/organization/operations\, with 74% answering that the impact had been ‘significant’ or ‘noticeable’.\n\nJoin us in person on November 30th for a discussion on immigration\, the new international travel rules and what long-term effects the border closures\, immigration back-logs and on-going Pandemic are having on labor shortages and talent retention for companies here in the United States.\n\n**COVID protocols will be observed**\n\n \n\nTOPICS FOR DISCUSSION\n\nUpdate on international travel rules\n\n What was the impact of the US travel bans for the airline industry and international travel?\n What are the new rules and what is their impact a few weeks into their implementation?\n What can be expected with regard to international travel in the next few months and longer term?\n\nImmigration update\n\n How does the lifting of the country-specific travel restrictions in favor of a global vaccination requirement impact business travel?\n What is the residual impact\, if any\, have these changes had on Consular and Visa services and employees needing nonimmigrant visas? What about with USCIS?\n What does this all mean for Employers? Is a National Interest Exception (NIE) still required?  How does it affect short term business travel and international transfer of employees?\n\nSPEAKERS\n\n Scott Bettridge – Immigration Practice Chair at Cozen O’Connor’s Office in Miami.\n Peter Cerda – Regional Vice President for the Americas\, International Air Transport Association (IATA)\n\nSPEAKER BIOGRAPHIES\n\nScott Bettridge\n\nScott Bettridge chairs Cozen O’Connor’s Immigration Practice and represents both corporate and individual clients in all aspects related to U.S. immigration law.
