ITAR BOOT CAMP Oct 23 - 24, 2012 Chicago Back in Chicago by popular demand, American Conference Institute’s acclaimed ITAR Boot Camp is an in-depth, practical nuts and bolts course on how to comply with the ITAR. Amid increased ITAR enforcement, large, mid-size and small companies that deal with defense articles services or related technical data must ensure that their export practices and global supply chains comply with the ITAR. An exporter that does not have a handle on key requirements can unknowingly violate strict provisions of the ITAR — and incorrectly assume that their articles, technical data or services aren’t even subject to the ITAR!

I have attended and presented at a variety of ACI hosted events across the country. No one does it better! If you are looking for top-notch, knowledgeable speakers and a timely agenda, then ACI is "the source" to go to. In particular, their ITAR Boot Camps and National Forums have consistently proven to be invaluable when it comes to education, training and staying in touch with what's going on in and across industry and the US Government.
