Morning Breakout Sessions
Global Banking Fraud
Amy Sahm, Senior VP & Manager, International, Fulton Bank

With fraudulent transactions, scams and money laundering on the rise, the banking industry is responding with safeguards and measures to help customers effectively navigate the sometimes precarious environment. Through both enhanced process due diligence and technology, banks are joining with law enforcement to prevent financial losses. Learn how to recognize and deter international fraud.


Emerging Opportunities in Cuba
Louis Dejoie, International Law, McNees Wallace & Nurick
Abram Koser, Susquehanna Bank

Earlier this year, new regulations became effective, authorizing the export without a license of certain categories of goods to the Cuban private sector. Travel restriction have also been relaxed. This session will provide information on the risks and potential opportunities for companies interested in the Cuban market.


Managing Your Online Reputation
Laura Stocker, Senior Partner, Tin Cans Unlimited
Jeff Peyton, Managing Partner, Tin Cans Unlimited
When a single tweet can topple the most powerful CEOs, when collecting followers on Facebook leads directly to increased sales and when "trending" can affect public perception, reputation management can't be ignored. This session offers insights into the importance of social media participation and provides real, actionable solutions for leveraging social media to protect-and enhance-you and your business reputations

International Employment Practices
Amy Groff, Partner, K&L Gates
Labor and employment laws can present an array of challenges for employers in the United States, and those challenges are multiplied when employing workers in other countries.  This program will identify some unique employment law requirements in a sampling of other countries.  These requirements can impact hiring, firing and everything in between, and they can result in significant liability if overlooked.
