It's where the trade
experts will be.
The Coalition for a Prosperous America will host its 2024 Annual Conference on May 14 - 15 at the historic Phoenix Park Hotel on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C., bringing together Members of Congress from both the U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives, Biden administration officials, and leading industry and subject matter experts. The Annual Conference is an opportunity to network with CPA members, Members of Congress, and key stakeholders to discuss critical policy issues and solutions that impact our member companies and domestic industry. The Annual Conference will delve into crucial topics surrounding trade, tax, and economic policy, with a focus on fostering the growth of domestic industry and agriculture, achieving balanced trade, safeguarding national security interests, and fostering broadly-shared prosperity across the nation. Attendees can expect a full agenda of engaging sessions and policy panels addressing key issues such as industrial policy and tax matters aimed at bolstering domestic production, examining how China exploits U.S. capital markets, exploring how trade policy can drive economic growth and fortify domestic industrial capacity, seeking solutions to tackle the drug shortage crisis, and strategizing how to shield U.S. producers and industries from predatory trade practices and threats of oversupply from foreign manufacturers.
