Trade Compliance Tech Forum, 9 – 10 June 2026, Düsseldorf, Germany

Der foregår lige nu en digital revolution inden for compliance. Nogle er foran, andre venter på at følge efter, men én ting er sikkert: Det sker, og det vil ændre den måde, vi arbejder på i den nærmeste og fjerneste fremtid.

Trade ComplianceTech Forum

There is a digital revolution taking place right now in compliance. Some are ahead, others waiting to follow but one thing is certain, it is happening and will change the way we operate in the near and distant future. 

Compliance software already exists, but still needs human review. The use of ComplianceTech will lead to compliance executives having more time to focus on the grey areas, leading to greater efficiency all around. Also, as the remit for compliance officers continues to expand, they are increasingly looking at technology to augment their capabilities. Artificial intelligence powered by machine learning and big data has the potential to completely revolutionise the compliance world.  

So, who can shine a light on the possibilities and opportunities out there? One thing we have learned over fifteen years of working closely with the global trade compliance community is that the best way forward is to meet and talk to all stakeholders together on one platform and learn from each other. Over two days in Düsseldorf we will be doing this and hope you too can join us.

Tired of attending conferences full of hot air and little substance, with speaker lists acting as delegates? Nielsonsmith does things differently. Our tried and tested model is unique in the conference industry with expert speakers giving in-depth presentations to a room full of peers, there to discuss, debate and enter into dialogue. Often lively and always informative, our conferences break the age-old ‘death by PowerPoint’ cycle of dull box-ticking and ensure our delegates, speakers and sponsors leave with new perspectives and networks.

A good conference is built on delegate participation, at Nielsonsmith we strive to build a platform where the delegate can openly discuss the matter at hand in a room full of peers. In-depth presentations with extended Q&A time to get the answers uppermost in your mind.
