"Anytime these sessions come up, I jump at the chance to attend. It's always great to review the material, and to learn about any changes. It's also great to attend the session with similar/dissimilar companies as they ask interesting questions and create opportunities to discuss topics you might not have thought of. Bernard has so much experience and he's very approachable, so I feel comfortable asking him questions, especially about unique export situations.
