Take a deep dive into the turmoil in global trade: geopolitical tensions, a new U.S. president, tariff threats, value chain disruptions and the rise of protectionism. Where can we start to unravel these and other issues? Which strategic levers should we put in place to ensure our businesses survive? And how do we anticipate change and keep things running as smoothly as possible amid cross-border uncertainty?

Trade relations are always in a state of flux, but never more than in recent months. The situation is a stark reminder than nothing can be taken for granted. This is why Executive Education HEC Montréal and the International Institute of Economic Diplomacy are organizing an important event on relations with the U.S., the Canada–United States–Mexico free trade agreement and how the current dynamic impacts businesses in Quebec and the rest of Canada.

The program includes a concrete analysis of critical issues, informed perspectives from trade leaders and tangible strategies to help executives lead in a fluctuating trade environment.

Our experts:

  • Robin Bernstein, former Ambassador of the United States to the Dominican Republic, President, Richard S. Bernstein & Associates Inc.
  • Jérôme Pécresse, Chief Executive, Aluminium, Rio Tinto
  • Anne-Marie Trudeau, President, Trudeau Corporation
  • Pierre Seïn Pyun, Vice-President, Government and Industry Affairs, Bombardier
  • Louis Bouchard, President, STAS and QG100 member
  • Mélanie Raymond, Chief Economist and Acting Director General of International Economic Relations, Global Affairs Canada
  • Philippe Bourbeau, Professor, Department of International Business, and Co-Director, International Institute of Economic Diplomacy, HEC Montréal
  • Véronique Proulx, President and CEO, Fédération des chambres de commerce du Québec (FCCQ) - moderator

This event is by invitation only and is non-transferable. Don’t wait to register, as space is limited.

We are bringing together leading experts from different fields to help unravel North American trade challenges. Featuring complementary perspectives — from experts in economics, international and government affairs, manufacturing and international trade — this event will offer a 360° view of the challenges and opportunities ahead.

You can also take advantage of this unique opportunity to discuss issues and concerns shared by the business community and explore concrete strategies to make your organization more competitive.
