Welcome to the site of the STEP Caribbean Conference 2008 10th Annual Conference

The 2008 Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners (STEP) Caribbean Conference marks the tenth year for this long standing, successful event.

This conference will be the central meeting place for the offshore financial services industry for 2008. The programme is developed by a steering committee consisting of STEP Caribbean Conference Chairpersons from The Bahamas, Cayman Islands, Turks & Caicos, British Virgin Islands, Barbados, Bermuda, Panama and Miami branches. The conference promises to provide STEP members and their guests with a quality program of guest lecturers, workshops, panel discussions and keynote speakers.
