Dear Colleague
In a rapidly changing regulatory environment for the trade controls professional, the 21st Annual Global Trade Controls conference offers a unique opportunity to keep updated on current issues and future developments. Known as the ‘definitive conference on export controls’, this annual event offers the trade controls community an unrivalled global meeting place to hear a wide variety of views, and give ample opportunity for audience feedback and networking, with attendees from both governments and industry.
Developing and implementing a workable export control compliance programme is a challenging task which requires up-to-date knowledge and commitment at all levels from a company’s employees. Take the opportunity offered by this conference to:
* Update your knowledge and understanding of regulations and legal requirements
* Analyse corporate compliance programmes and best practice
* Avoid compliance violations and potential fines
* Hear views from senior government officials from Europe, USA and Asia on export control and enforcement
* Examine key areas of concern, including sanctions and embargoes, technology transfers and dual-use goods
Preceded by an intensive introductory seminar to export licensing and trade controls for those needing further training or a refresher course, this conference will provide you with invaluable information and the opportunity to learn, benchmark and network with industry colleagues.
I look forward to welcoming you to the conference.
