A SYMPOSIUM ON ``BUILDING INDUSTRIAL PARTNERSHIPS IN THE FORMER SOVIET UNION'' Hosted by the Departments of Defense and Commerce and the Industrial College of the Armed Forces. Sponsored by the Association of the Industrial College of the Armed Forces. April 19, 1995, Bernard M. Baruch Auditorium, Eisenhower Hall, Fort Lesley J. McNair, Washington, DC. The Association of the Industrial College of the Armed Forces is sponsoring a national-level forum of senior government officials and leaders from private industry and academia to discuss the unique challenges of building industrial partnerships in the former Soviet Union (FSU). This conference, the 14th annual ICAF Symposium, will build upon the theme, developed in the previous symposia, of Government, Industry and Academia working in the partnership to achieve shared goals. This one-day event features a keynote address by Dr. William Perry, U.S. Secretary of Defense, a luncheon address by the Honorable Ronald Brown, U.S. Secretary of Commerce, remarks by Mrs. Ruth Harkin of OPIC, and an address by Mr. Michael Jordan of Westinghouse Electric Corporation. Following the opening sessions, discussion groups led by government officials and private industry executives will address issues related to brokering deals and running operations in the FSU. Anyone interested in the exciting possibilities and challenges of forming profitable business partnerships with the enterprises of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan will find this conference a unique opportunity to discuss practical approaches and experiences with key government and industry decision-makers. The conference will allow the participants to engage in frank discussions with, and gain practical knowledge from, those who have succeeded in establishing and operating business entities in the former Soviet Union. Middle- and Senior-level managers from industry and academia, as well as their counterparts from the federal government, interested in expanding U.S. business in the former Soviet Union and assisting in the conversion of FSU enterprises, are strongly encouraged to attend. A detailed brochure on the program is scheduled for release in mid-February.
