Michael S. Meyer von Bremen, Managing Partner of Hall Booth Smith, P.C.'s Albany office, participated for the fifth consecutive year in a conference on international relations sponsored by the Friedrich Naumann Foundation. Entitled "The Current State of TransAtlantic Relations: An Assessment," the conference took place in mid-November, 2014 in Miami, Florida. 

Participants included representatives from the business community, current and former elected officials, and members of embassies and political strategists from different countries.   United States, Canada, Germany and Poland were some of the countries represented. Participants met to exchange ideas and dialogue about topics such as the role of international organizations in transatlantic relations; the impact of elections in the United States, Canada and Germany; international trade and investment with focus on the pending International Trade and Investment Partnership; challenges to transatlantic travel; and the 25th year of the Berlin Wall being torn down.

Meyer von Bremen was also one of several elected officials invited to Europe in 2007 to learn about the political process there while he was  in the Georgia State Senate and has been invited stateside to similar programs since 2010.
