U.S. Commercial Service and USC Marshall Welcome Media To Two Days of High-Level Strategic Conversations

LOS ANGELES, April 4, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- April 16 and 17, the U.S. Commercial Service, a division of the U.S. Department of Commerce, and the USC Marshall School of Business will host the 31st annual Asia/Pacific Business Outlook (APBO). APBO is North America's premier event for business leaders who want to expand their trade and investment in the Asia/Pacific region.

With the Trump administration's trade policies toward Asia - and China in particular - making daily headlines, APBO is a "must-attend" event for media in 2018.

This year's conference will feature keynote speeches from such in-the-know experts as former U.S. Ambassador to China, the Honorable Gary Locke; APCO Worldwide Chairman for Greater China, James McGregor; and Vice President and Managing Director of the Asia Society Policy Institute, Wendy Cutler.

A full roster of speakers and more information about the conference is available at http://apboconference.com/speakers/.
