April 25, 2022 • Washington, DC AmericanConference.com/Telecom

Join Us the Afternoon Prior for the Country’s Premier Event on Team Telecom! The newly renamed Committee for the Assessment of Foreign Participation in the United States Telecommunications Services Sector, commonly referred to as the Team Telecom Committee, now has a more official role in reviewing applications for telecom licenses, deals and other requests made to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). However, the implementation of the new official structure, scope, timelines and filing system has created some growing pains and uncertainty-and a myriad of grey areas. The American Conference Institute’s 2nd National Team Telecom Conference will take place in Washington, D.C. on April 25, 2022. Taking place the day prior to the 8th National Conference on CFIUS, join us for this half-day program on critical strategies for managing reviews in the new Team Telecom environment, meeting new timelines, addressing uncertainty, and overcoming newfound challenges and pitfalls. Distinguished Co-Chairs: Amy Strauss Senior Director, Private Sector Office (PSO) Department of Homeland Security David Plotinsky Partner, Morgan Lewis Former Acting Chief of the Foreign Investment Review Section, National Security Division, Department of Justice
