8th Annual New York Forum on Economic Sanctions 2017 | American Conference Institute | 5 December 2017 | Andaz Wall Street, 75 Wall St, New York, NY 10005, US

Now in its eighth successful year, ACI’s New York Forum on Economic Sanctions, is widely regarded – together with ACI’s flagship Economic Sanctions conference in Washington DC in April – as North America’s largest and most comprehensive conference on economic sanctions, their enforcement and compliance.

The New York Forum on Economic Sanctions convenes a diverse mix of financial institutions, exporters and their advisers to provide practical and timely, country-specific sanctions insights and address how to update sanctions compliance and risk management programs.

Updated for 2017 to incorporate the most significant developments, this program offers interactive analysis on:

Iran opportunities and licenses: what is and is not permissible
The very latest on the highly dynamic Russia/Ukraine sectoral and secondary sanctions
What can US companies and individuals actually still do with respect to Cuba
Real life, practical guidance on key compliance topics such Screening, Due Diligence, Financing and Payments
Analysis of recent Enforcement cases and lessons learned for industry
How to Build Relationships and work cooperatively with OFAC
Updates and analysis on European and Canadian sanctions regimes and the impact of ongoing issues such as Brexit for US companies’ global sanctions compliance positions

This forum takes an advanced approach to complex sanctions topics. However, if you are interested in a more basic-level primer prior to the main conference, we recommend you attend our Pre-Conference Working Groups to get up to speed on all aspects of an effective sanctions compliance program.
