A Breakfast Discussion “Services of the Caribbean (SOCA) Launch” November 21, 2013; 7:30-8:45am San Martin Room / Organization of American States
Agenda This event is a launch of an initiative to expand the CBI to include services. The economies of the Caribbean are heavily dependent on activity in the services sector.

At this event, the Trinidad and Tobago Coalition of Services Industries (TTCSI) will explain the new Services of the Caribbean (SOCA) partnership with other regional private sector interests and DC-based advocacy firm, Manchester Trade, to create new opportunities for CARICOM-US trade in the services sector.
