Trade controls are continually moving. An export that is compliant today may not be compliant tomorrow. A party – individual or business – you can contract with today may be sanctioned tomorrow. Knowledge of ‘the big picture’ in trade controls is essential.
The WorldECR Forum in London and Washington, DC, brings together export controls and sanctions compliance professionals, regulators and representatives of the multilateral control regimes, leading trade regulation attorneys and consultants, along with thought-leaders in a supportive, stimulating environment, sharing experience, insight, and knowledge of topical trade control developments and trends.
Taking place once a year in both London and DC, the WorldECR Forum has – since 2013 – been at the heart of WorldECR’s dynamic community of trade regulation professionals.
(Due to Covid-19, in 2020 the WorldECR Virtual Forum was held online.)
