18th Annual International Estate Planning Institute

The New York State Bar Association and STEP New York are pleased to present the 18th Annual International Estate Planning Institute, which is back in-person for 2023.

This Institute is a much-anticipated annual event at which trust and estate practitioners, bankers, and accountants from around the world gather to hear the leaders in their fields exchange ideas and discuss developments regarding cross-border planning with a U.S. component.

A luncheon on the first day of the Institute and an evening cocktail reception will afford attendees opportunities for networking and enjoying the company of your peers.

This event will be presented in a hybrid format. The in-person format is now sold out. The virtual option is still available – please note the registration fee for both formats is the same.
