ITAR Boot Camp

American Conference Institute’s

ITAR Boot Camp

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

Wednesday, February 24 to Thursday, February 25, 2010

No Other ITAR Training Will Provide You with as Much Comprehensive, Practical Information to Upgrade Your ITAR Compliance Program!

Large, mid-size and small companies that deal with defense articles, defense services or related technical data must ensure that their export practices and global supply chains comply with the U.S. International Traffic in Arms Regulations (“ITAR”) – or risk heavy penalties, and, in some cases, imprisonment. The list of ITAR-controlled USML items keeps changing. 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!

Back in San Diego by popular demand, American Conference Institute’s critically acclaimed ITAR Boot Camp is an in-depth, practical course on the nuts and bolts of ITAR compliance. The 2010 program has been fully updated, and features new topics and a brand new speaker faculty!

Senior ITAR compliance executives and attorneys will teach you how to overcome your practical, real-life ITAR compliance challenges, and update you on the latest regulatory and enforcement developments. This course will allow for ample Q & A, hands-on exercises and case studies, and will provide you with valuable speaker-prepared materials that you can use for your daily work.

Critical topics will include:

  • Classifying articles, technology and services, and determining ITAR jurisdiction
  • Preparing successful ITAR license applications, and using license exemptions
  • Managing your roles and responsibilities as an “Empowered Official” – and the associated risks
  • Achieving an effective ITAR compliance program: Critical elements – and securing management buy-in
  • Vetting and monitoring compliance by foreign third parties
  • Reducing the risk of technical data and defense services export violations
  • Controlling foreign national employee and visitor access
  • Complying with the Brokering Rules under Part 129 of the ITAR
  • Enforcement and penalty overview: The costs of ITAR violations
  • Post-license implementation: Interpreting and complying with license provisos
  • What to do if an ITAR violation is suspected
  • Preparing effective voluntary and directed disclosures
