In the autumn there will be a regional Eurasia conference, The Black Sea Energy & Economic Forum, in Istanbul September 29-October 1 organized by the Atlantic Council, with which AmCham collaborated two years ago on a smaller Central Asia policy conference in Almaty.  Given the prominence of Atlantic Council, the outstanding speakers they are able to attract, and the high quality of discussion at their conferences, we recommend members look at the Istanbul program and consider attending.  Registration continues until August 31.
