Company executives and tax counsel have a rare opportunity to discuss global tax policy developments affecting their businesses with leading policy makers. Top officials with the 31-nation Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, which plays a key role in setting international tax rules, will join senior U.S. officials and tax experts at a two-day conference organized by the United States Council for International Business (USCIB).

This is the latest in a series of annual conferences on the OECD's impact in global tax matters. The event provides insight into how the Paris-based OECD, which groups the world's advanced industrialized nations, influences tax policies worldwide, and how business can work with it. The full agenda and additional information is available at www.uscibtax.org.

USCIB promotes open markets, competitiveness and innovation, sustainable development and corporate responsibility, supported by international engagement and prudent regulation. Its members include top U.S.-based global companies and professional services firms from every sector of our economy, with operations in every region of the world. With a unique global network encompassing leading international business organizations, USCIB provides business views to policy makers and regulatory authorities worldwide, and works to facilitate international trade and investment. More information is available at www.uscib.org.
