Drawing together officials from the U.S. Treasury, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the U.S. Congress, and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD); representatives from some of the largest U.S. multinational companies; and a veritable Who's Who of leading private practitioners, the Bloomberg BNA Baker & McKenzie Transfer Pricing Conference and Primer is designed to attract professionals from across the transfer pricing spectrum. For the first time, two separate – but related – transfer pricing programs will offer leading U.S. multinationals a venue that will provide insights, actionable experience, networking opportunities, and keynote addresses from both IRS Transfer Pricing Director Samuel Maruca and IRS Deputy Commissioner Michael Danilack.

Two Programs, One Site
The Bloomberg BNA Baker & McKenzie Transfer Pricing Conference and Primer builds on the success of an inaugural transfer pricing conference in Washington a year ago, offering added sessions and new focuses. "This year we've added a hands-on, two-day Primer track for those relatively unfamiliar with the complex world of transfer pricing," says Martin Schuebel, Director of Professional Development for Bloomberg BNA. "Both Conference and Primer will be conducted concurrently at the Cosmos Club," Schuebel added.
