Option 1: Winning the Race for Tech Talent (Paul Brest Hall East) This session will explore how decoupling policies impact talent acquisition and management, and how U.S. companies can attract foreign talent to the U.S. while navigating concerns around IP theft and other national security risks. This session also will consider whether U.S. policies erode U.S. companies’ competitive advantage in attracting foreign talent, and how the government can better ensure that U.S. companies can compete successfully in the global talent market.
Option 2: Economic Sanctions (Paul Brest Hall West) This session will explore the pain points and challenges of complying with U.S economic sanctions, particularly for companies that are dealing with Russian investors, doing business in Russia, doing business with Russian entities, and/or managing Russian employees. This session also may consider inconsistencies between the sanctions regime and trade and investment controls, use of third-party intermediaries to evade sanctions, and whether Russian sanctions are – or should be – a playbook for China.
