1st Annual "Arctic Imperative Summit"

The inaugural "Arctic Imperative Summit: Cooperation, Investment, Development" took place from June 19-21 and was referred to as the "first-ever investor and policy summit focusing on the American Arctic."  

Through high-level meetings, presentations, investor roundtables and original research, the aim was to "expose business leaders to the long-term opportunities for responsible Arctic development" and to illuminate issues in key areas such as:
- Security;
- Resources;
- Port Development;
- Marine Shipping; and
- Commerce & Trade.

An article appearing shortly thereafter in the Alaska Dispatch reported on the discussion among participants regarding UNCLOS.
