This page shows historical information on the US Commercial Export Controls and Embargoes & US Defense Trade Controls Seminar, held on October 10-13, 2011 in Amsterdam,
Netherlands
The new edition of this event will be held on October 20-23, 2025
United States trade control laws and regulations impact companies who use or resell US-origin products, components or technology. The US Government can impose serious penalties for US and non-US companies who fail to comply with the extra-territorial US rules (including monetary fines, a loss of US Government contracts, or a complete ban from receiving any US items).
These seminars offer practical explanations and advice on what the rules are and how they impact companies outside the United States. Expect to leave these seminars with an in-depth understanding of what you need to do to keep your company compliant.
This is the second time I have attended this seminar within the past 4 years. It is as good and informative as the first time. All materials and contents are appropriately updated. ..this seminar is full value for the fee!
