"This conference has been used by government and OECD officials as a platform to deliver important and detailed information about the direction of their transfer pricing policies and base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS) project," said Molly Moses, Transfer Pricing Editor for Bloomberg BNA Tax & Accounting.  "With the OECD's plan on BEPS more than halfway to completion, multinationals everywhere are beginning to pay serious attention to the standards laid out in the BEPS project, which is undeniably having an impact on how both governments and multinationals view transfer pricing."

The conference offers the industry's essential thinking and analysis and has become a must-attend event for the world's leading multinationals to get the insights on the regulatory changes underway and the political and economic forces shaping them. 

The conference will open with an address by Pascal Saint-Amans, Director of the OECD's Centre for Tax Policy and Administration, and featured in the sessions are a United Nations tax official and representatives from developing countries that are the key drivers of the BEPS project.  Speakers include:

  • Joseph L. Andrus, Former Head of Transfer Pricing Unit, OECD, Paris
  • Andrew Hickman, Head of Transfer Pricing Unit, OECD, Paris
  • Sandra Knaepen, Director of International Relations, General Administration of Taxes, Brussels
  • Michelle Levac, Transfer Pricing Specialist, Canada Revenue Agency, Chair of OECD Working Party No. 6, Ottawa, Canada
