ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
 

The annual NCBFAA Government Affairs Conference (GAC) provides attendees with the opportunity to learn about timely and critically important industry changes directly from the influential players involved as well as make their voices heard when explaining the industry's pressing challenges to their Senators and Congressional Representatives. 
 

If you are a Customs Broker, Ocean Freight Forwarder, Ocean Transportation Intermediary, Indirect Air Carrier, Drawback Specialist, Manager or Executive of a logistics company, or Industry Service Provider interested in the effects of regulation and politics on the transportation logistics industry, you should join us at the NCBFAA 2025 Government Affairs Conference in Washington, DC, September 7-9.
 

Reminder: Due to the fact that importers and exporters (NEI Professional Members) can now attend various NEI webinars and participate in NEI Case Studies to obtain their necessary CEUs throughout the year, the NEI Professional Members (those not eligible for any type of NCBFAA Membership relating to Regular, Associate or Affiliate) are no longer eligible to attend the Annual Conference or Government Affairs Conference.

 

Important Information Regarding Hotel Registration: In an effort to more accurately manage our room block allotment, the NCBFAA has updated its hotel registration policy requiring attendees to now register for the Conference prior to making their hotel reservations. Upon the completion of your registration, you will receive a link to the Grand Hyatt Washington's hotel reservation page that includes NCBFAA's special room block rate of $329/night. This policy change will ensure all registered attendees have the opportunity to stay at the Conference hotel.
