Lessons from the Trade Battlefield II
About this Event
The Organization of Women in International Trade (OWIT) South Florida invites you to the second edition of Lessons of the Trade Battlefield.
With trade policy and tariffs continuing to reshape global markets, there has never been a better time to hear directly from the experts. Following the outstanding success of our inaugural session, Lessons of the Trade Battlefield returns with leading voices to unpack the latest developments in tariffs and what they mean for companies, communities, and cross-border commerce. Recent shifts in tariff policies, rising protectionist measures, and ongoing supply chain adjustments are creating both challenges and opportunities for businesses around the world.
Join us for an engaging conversation with our distinguished panelists as they share firsthand insights, practical lessons, and perspectives on navigating today's evolving trade landscape. Whether you are a business leader, policymaker, trade professional, or simply interested in understanding the forces shaping the global economy, this is a discussion you won't want to miss.
Come learn, connect, and gain valuable intelligence from those on the front lines of the trade battlefield.
Hosted by OWIT South Florida and the Miami-Dade World Trade Center.
