Conference information and registration at www.siaed.org/event-3149485

DAY 1 EXEMPTIONS AND EXCEPTIONS SEMINAR

SIA is pleased to present a one-day seminar showcasing ITAR exemptions and the newly restructured SIA Exemptions Handbook! ITAR exemptions are often underutilized with some companies preferring to obtain a license or agreement from the Departments of State and Commerce. Join your peers in the trade compliance profession to hear tips for effective ITAR and EAR exemption/exception use as well as compliance mechanisms for auditing and recordkeeping. There will also be discussions on EAR license exceptions to assist with activities that bridge both the ITAR and the EAR.

Speakers invited include members of industry who will provide real-world insight on how their companies are compliantly utilizing exemptions/exceptions to meet program timelines and increase productivity.

DAY 2 VOLUNTARY DISCLOSURE/VOLUNTARY SELF-DISCLOSURE SEMINAR

SIA is pleased to present a half-day seminar showcasing Voluntary Disclosures and the newly restructured/revised SIA ITAR Voluntary Disclosures Handbook! Potential noncompliance may be discovered in myriad ways—and both DDTC and BIS encourage the submission of Voluntary Disclosures by parties who believe they may have violated the regulations. However, the process for identifying and investigating, managing, and reporting potential violations in even the most sophisticated companies can be complex and challenging. Join your peers in the trade compliance profession to learn strategies for effectively scoping your investigation, risk assessment approaches for root cause and corrective action analysis, as well as recent violation trends due to regulatory changes. The seminar will conclude with real compliance case studies that explore best practices and lessons learned in the voluntary disclosure process.
