The 13th Annual Export Control Forum
March 27-28, 2018
Santa Clara, California
Interested to hear the latest changes to U.S. export controls affecting your international operations? Want to meet with key policy, technical, and enforcement specialists from Washington D.C. intimately involved in export controls? Here’s your opportunity-- in a convenient west coast location!
This year’s Export Control Forum will feature experts from the principal U.S export control agencies. Topics to be covered include U.S. embargoes and sanctions, encryption, identifying and protecting emerging technologies, the latest information on transfers from the U.S. Munitions List to the Commerce Control List, updates to the Foreign Trade Regulations, export compliance best practices, and much more.
As in years past, the Forum will include a networking opportunity at the close of the first day, where participants may interact with the speakers and other attendees in a more congenial environment.
This year, BIS will hold separate breakout sessions on Day Two of the Forum to cover specialized material in greater depth.
Continuing legal education credit (MCLE) is available, and varies with the length of each seminar, for California State Bar members.
