Event Details

The U.S elections are very much in the crosshair of both Democratic and Republican candidates now. The "usual" political conventions and the on-going campaigns are being disrupted and changed due to the coronavirus pandemic.


On 2 September 2020, after both the Democratic and Republican Conventions and after President Trump accepts his party's nomination, AMCHAM members are invited to join a virtual briefing session with political expert Steven Okun to hear about the convention moments that left the strongest impressions and the path forward for both presidential candidates. Steve will also discuss the "Blue Shift", which could be the most consequential phenomenon to understand this election.
