Events

With the participation of well-known German companies, the USA Management Meetings of our organization are already in their seventeenth year. They are continuously adapted to current developments in the USA and the recommendations of the managers from the evaluation sheets are integrated. The USA seminars are the main activities of the German American Trade Association.

Due to the different thematic content, we have divided the USA seminars into two groups, the so-called U.S. Entry Meetings (US Entry) for companies that are considering entering the market or are already delivering to the USA, but have not yet established a subsidiary there and who Executive Management Meetings (EMM) for companies with existing US business.

Since the new presidency in particular, it has been important to monitor the new developments and consequences for companies in the USA with German parent companies. We strongly recommend that managers working in the USA attend the Executive Management Meetings in order to keep up to date and to be able to make adjustments to contracts if necessary.

A new addition is the M&A USA Special which supports companies with specialized experts in M&A transactions.

TOPICS

The participants receive extensive documents as accompanying material, which enable an internal audit and the corresponding implementation in the company. This includes a so-called “Check List Risk Management”, which quantifies the respective risks and maps them using a point system. It is based on American statistics and the current case law in the respective areas. In this way, every company can carry out a practice-oriented internal audit in which the action items relevant to each topic are listed, combined with recommendations for in-house implementation (management action items).
