Beach Day

During your conference registration, indicate whether you would like to participate in a Saturday excursion to the Jersey Shore with other McDermott + Consulting clients, just a short 45-minute bus trip from Center City Philadelphia. Ocean City is dubbed "America's Greatest Resort" town and is colorful, accessible, and vibrant, and afternoon getaways have been a staple of summer life for Philadelphians for generations. Spend the afternoon on the beach or swimming in the ocean (water temperatures typically hover around 70º in September) , checking out shops, taking in the boardwalk, relaxing, dining, or visiting the numerous attractions.

keynote speaker

Itai Grinberg

Itai Grinberg is a professor at Georgetown Law School and a member of the Institute of International Economic Law at Georgetown. His research focuses on international tax policy and fundamental tax reform, as well as the intersection of international tax law, international trade law, international investment law and international financial regulation.

 

Prof. Grinberg has testified before the US Congress and the German Bundestag on international tax matters.  He has acted as an outside international tax expert and consultant for the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, the Asian Development Bank, and the Inter-American Development Bank. He also consults to governments and corporations, on a selective basis.

 

During his prior work with the Office of International Tax Counsel at the Department of the Treasury, Prof. Grinberg represented the United States on tax matters in multilateral settings, negotiated tax treaties with foreign sovereigns and had responsibility for a wide-ranging group of cross-border tax regulations. He also was involved in international tax legislative developments.

 

Prior to joining Treasury, he practiced tax law at Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP, where he focused on a wide range of international tax controversy and planning matters. In 2005, Prof. Grinberg served as Counsel to the President’s Advisory Panel on Federal Tax Reform, where he advised a bipartisan presidential commission that made sweeping proposals to restructure the US tax code.
