As integration efforts are proceeding apace at the bilateral and regional levels in the Hemisphere, NetAmericas organized a two-day Conference: Integrating the Americas. The objective of the Conference was to examine a wide range of trade-related issues, disseminate findings of ongoing research projects, and foster exchanges among trade scholars and practitioners from all parts of the Hemisphere.

This Conference brought together trade scholars, experts, and policy makers to discuss timely issues, in particular those relating to the FTAA process and the Doha Development Agenda. The event will took place on November 20-21, 2002 at the Institute for International Economics (IIE) in Washington, DC.
