Caribbean-Central American Action announces 39th Annual Conference – 2015 Event to Focus on Cuba

Caribbean Central American Action (CCAA) recently announced that its 39th Annual Conference on Central America and the Caribbean will take place in Miami from November 15-17. With a focus this year on Cuba, experts from the areas of business, government, academia and civil society will gather at the Hyatt Regency in Miami to discuss the evolution of trade and investment in the Caribbean Basin as the United States moves towards the normalization of relations with Havana.

On the agenda for discussion:

Policy: how has Cuba changed the framework of national, regional and international policies in, and towards, the Caribbean Basin? As the Caribbean and Central America manage their collective and individual relationships with Cuba, has the necessary motivation been given to the region to create a more competitive environment for trade and investment?

Business: what are the emerging opportunities in telecommunications, agriculture, travel, transportation and infrastructure, energy, and entrepreneurship? Who are the new players and what are the sector trends? 

Regulation: The rules and regulations for doing business in Cuba are evolving and three expert workshops will give an overview of what U.S. and regional investors need to know. What are the prevailing U.S. laws for doing business with Cuba? What are the Cuban laws that companies should be aware of? And how does a business person deal with navigating the financial transactions?
