10th Annual Advanced Forum on Economic Sanctions Enforcement and Compliance 2017 | American Conference Institute | 24 April 2017 | Washington, DC , United States

We are delighted to be co-chairs of the 10th Anniversary Edition of the Advanced Forum on Economic Sanctions Enforcement & Compliance. This year is shaping up to be potentially very impactful in the world of sanctions compliance and enforcement both here in the US and overseas. The Trump Administration is assessing its position regarding sanctions policy for Iran, Cuba, Syria, Russia and other hot spots; as well as grappling with new authorizations on Iran, a rapidly changing landscape with respect to Russia, cautious interest surrounding opportunities in Cuba and questions over many other OFAC programs such as Cyber Sanctions, now has never been a more crucial time to attend what has become North America’s leading conference for the economic sanctions and international trade community.

With a wider selection of OFAC and other key Government Agency speakers than ever, representatives
from across the affected industries – from Financial Services to Automotive, Aviation to Tech – and the most respected authorities of the Sanctions Bar, this year’s Faculty is the most diverse and knowledgeable you’ll likely to find on economic sanctions issues.
