Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPP)

Why Should You Attend:

The Trans-Pacific Partnership agreement was reached by the 12 member countries in October 2015. The official text was released to the public in November 2015. The TPP will be the largest trade agreement for the United States and other countries when it is signed and ratified according to the national procedures of the concerned countries. Member countries represent 40% of global trade. According to the U.S. Trade Representative site, the TPP will make it easier for American entrepreneurs, farmers, and small business owners to sell Made-In-America products abroad by eliminating more than 18,000 taxes and other trade barriers on American products across the 11 other countries in the TPP.
