8th Geneva Regional and Global Headquarters Conference 2017 - Switzerland | PwC | 1 November 2017 | Starling Hotel Geneva, Route François-Peyrot 34, 1218 Le Grand-Saconnex

Successful multinational HQs like yours value Switzerland as an increasingly attractive business location for navigating a route through challenging times. It is crucial to keep an eye on political developments near and far to reap the benefits from global trade.

At this year's HQ conference, we will put the spotlight on two such influences: the relationship between Switzerland and the EU, and the US tax reform. The keynote speakers will give you insights into how Switzerland can keep the balance in its relationship with the European Union and into the impacts of the US tax reform on HQs operating out of Switzerland.

We will combine plenary sessions on topical subjects and break-out sessions focused on
additional specific issues. It is our goal to provide a lively platform with sufficient networking opportunities for you to interact with speakers, your peers and experts from PwC.

Key topics
• Swiss tax proposal 17 and latest OECD BEPS developments
• US tax reform
• Mobile talents and tax strategy in a digital world

Break-out sessions
• How do companies account and report with all the changes in tax legislations and codes
• EU tax developments, tax function of the future
• Impact of digital on finance functions and their organisations
