MAP Events
Hosted periodically throughout the year, ICAS Maritime Affairs Program (MAP) events promote the free and equal exchange of ideas on maritime affairs and international law, especially as they relate to U.S.-China relations. The format of maritime-related events that ICAS team hosts or co-hosts — and participate in as experts themselves — can range from public roundtables to multinational conferences and private dialogues between field experts.
