ITAR Boot Camp

ITAR Boot Camp

A Deep Dive into the International Traffic in Arms Regulations. How to Implement and Monitor an Effective ITAR Compliance Program

Tuesday, October 19 to Wednesday, October 20, 2010
The Millennium Knickerbocker, Chicago, IL, United States

National security enforcement continues to be a priority and exporters that deal with ITAR-controlled items, services or technical data must ensure their global supply chain is compliant. U.S. enforcement agencies are stepping up their enforcement of the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, cracking down on ITAR violations and imposing harsh civil penalties or even individual criminal liability of empowered officials and executives. Also, with the Obama administration looking to double exports over the next five years, ITAR-registered companies will have a huge advantage to tap into the large global market and benefit from their strong compliance practices.

At American Conference Institute’s 4th ITAR Boot Camp, for the fi rst time in Chicago, participants will have the unique opportunity to benchmark their practices with leading export compliance executives and senior ITAR attorneys. You will gain crucial knowledge on the nuts and bolts of ITAR compliance and learn from industry experts who will walk you through the latest requirements, exemptions and updates. Using helpful materials, interactive discussion and hands-on exercises, the ITAR Boot Camp will arm you with the information necessary to develop a comprehensive compliance program.

  • Classification of your products, services and technology
