About our Monthly Trade Meetings
Our monthly trade meetings with policy makers and regulators provides a unique forum for information exchange and discussion. Our off-the-record and closed to the press meetings mean that our speakers can talk more openly about government policy and upcoming regulatory changes. NCITD membership allows your company to send more than one representative of your staff to any of our meetings (membership by organization).
NCITD targets and addresses international trade problems. Attendees gain experience and insight while having an opportunity to share mutual interests and concerns with other professionals. NCITD monthly trade meetings are held in Washington, DC on the second Wednesday of each month, except for July and August.
We do welcome non-members at our monthly meetings, up to 3 attendances (by organization). After the third meeting attendance as a non-member, your organization must join NCITD to have staff attend future meetings.
Note: All meetings and webinars are closed to the press and off the record.
