CFIUS American Conference Institute 2023 | American Conference Institute | 26 April 2023 | Washington, DC and Online Event

Significantly more inbound foreign investments are subject to CFIUS scrutiny than ever before, but the evolving CFIUS regulations are creating an environment of assessment, review, execution, and post-closing supervision that is far more complex than we have seen in CFIUS’s 30+ year history. As such, it is now critically important for global businesses to have access to the knowledge needed to make crucial decisions.

ACI’s CFIUS conferences continuously feature an impressive lineup of leaders from government, industry and private practice who provide the insight and analysis needed by dealmakers to navigate increasingly complicated rules and to get deals done in today’s challenging environment.

In this critical time for dealmakers and foreign investment, we invite you to join your peers at American Conference Institute’s 9th National Conference on CFIUS. Widely regarded as the premier event for the CFIUS bar, this conference will provide invaluable insights on repositioning your transaction planning amidst this rapidly evolving landscape.
