US Trade Controls Compliance in Europe Conference, 19-20 March 2025, Düsseldorf, Germany
Our annual gathering in Germany looking at ITAR and EAR compliance in Europe.
If you deal with controlled US goods the ITAR and EAR are acronyms you know all about and you have probably already attended this leading conference. But as we all know, it never gets easier, review and revision by the Biden administration has added a whole new dimension. See you in Germany guys.
The conference promises once more to be lively, with differing opinions stimulating an open debate, no ‘death by power point’ here, come prepared to learn and contest and leave with new perspectives.
And other trade controls compliance professionals.
