Workshops are offered In-Person only

As the trade war between the U.S. and China heats up, U.S. regulators are moving to “close loopholes” in the export controls system, creating new trade compliance challenges for companies with a nexus to China. What steps should your organization take to strengthen and adapt its trade compliance program today, and how do you prepare for the policy shifts that will shape your strategy tomorrow?

In Part I of the Workshop, our expert instructors will closely examine the core components of an effective trade compliance program, guiding you through the most recent developments so you can adapt your program as policy shifts.

In Part II, you’ll get an opportunity directly engage with U.S. regulators in an intimate, small group setting. Ask questions and get valuable insight you can use to evolve your strategy!

Throughout, you’ll share ideas, learn alongside your peers, and benefit from speaker-prepared materials so you can return to your office with fresh, actionable insight.

Part I Topics will include:

• A review of the latest U.S. export control regulations and sanctions affecting companies with a nexus to China and how to communicate risks effectively to leadership teams
