Both events are titled ‘10+2: How to Make It ‘Add Up’ For You.’ The presentations will not simply state or define what the rule is, but will instead feature an in-depth look on how to adapt to the pending 10+2 regulation. Mr. Gavin will present a focused analysis to help guide the trade community and propose insight on how to adapt to the upcoming CBP regulation. He will take a strategic look at how to manage and protect the soon to be required sensitive information while still providing visibility throughout the entire supply chain.
