Are you interested in learning about smart export compliance business strategies? Looking for effective solutions to address an export compliance problem? On February 4, 2010, the World Trade Center of New Orleans will host speakers from the Bureau of Industry and Security. Designed to help companies create or enhance their export compliance programs, the seminar will focus on industry best practices of effective export management and compliance programs. It is designed for companies whose products are subject to U.S. export controls. The objective is to help companies efficiently manage their export compliance requirements by implementing strategies and safeguards that can minimize the risk of an export violation. This seminar is a must-attend for managers, sales staff, logistics staff, and compliance specialists who already understand the basics and are looking to use that knowledge to design or enhance an effective compliance program for their companies.
Participants for this seminar should have a working knowledge of U.S. export regulations. This is not a regulatory seminar and does not cover subjects such as how to classify your product or how to determine whether or not your export requires a license. The seminar is for exporters who are ready to utilize their knowledge of export regulations to build an effective compliance program that addresses their export compliance responsibilities. While this is not a seminar for beginners using the Export Administration Regulations, this seminar is targeted for beginners preparing, implementing, and/or reviewing an Export Management and Compliance Program.
Officials from the Bureau of Industry will conduct the seminar. The instructors are compliance specialists and will be available throughout the seminar to provide guidance on “best practice” strategies for complying with U.S. export regulations, implementing an effective compliance program, and developing a written export compliance manual.
The program will be held at The World Trade Center of New Orleans, The Plimsoll Club, 30th Floor 2 Canal Street, Suite 2900 New Orleans, LA 70130. Registration and continental breakfast will
