With Cuba in the headlines, many business leaders are wondering if there are real opportunities to do business with and within Cuba. This expert panel will host an open, interactive and candid dialogue about the realities of Cuba from both the public and private sector point of views. From policy perspectives to treaty compliance, what does it take to get a product on the ground in Cuba? The panel will delve into a candid conversation of the challenges and opportunities and what this all means for Tampa Bay.
   • What strategies can help business leaders position their companies to enter the Cuban market?
   • How does Tampa Bay view the, "Cuba question," compared to other states and regions in Florida?
   • Under the new guidelines, what is currently allowed in Cuba and what is not?
   • Even if the embargo is lifted, what risks and challenges will remain?
   • What is the perspective from the Cuban side?
   • What advantages are there for businesses with a Tampa Bay location hoping to enter this emerging market?
