How to Develop an Export Management and Compliance Program

This one-day workshop provides an overview of the steps a company may take to implement an internal Export Management and Compliance Program. Agenda topics include guidance on how to establish an Export Management and Compliance Program, strategies to improve your company’s compliance program, how to avoid common compliance errors, and how to build a solid framework for your company’s compliance program. This program includes small group discussion, hands on exercises, and compliance peer networking. This program will be led by senior export compliance specialists from the Bureau of Industry and Security.
