Defense Exports —Revising Controls; Increasing Trade Opportunities

There is a growing debate within the Aerospace and Defense industry about whether the current export control system is too cumbersome, neither fully protecting against unauthorized transfer of sensitive technology nor providing the mechanisms to foster increased defense exports. The Presidential Export Control Directive of January 2008 and the Export Control Reform Act of 2008 are attempts to remedy some of the short-comings. But as many challenges remain, opportunities for defense exports are growing exponentially, with foreign military sales having tripled over the last seven years. This outstanding conference brings together the government and industry experts who are leading the efforts to reform the export control system. Our agenda also is comprised of the leading industry experts who will tackle the key issues associated with developing a successful global export control program. What roles do DOC, Treasury, DOJ, State, and DoD play? DSCA, DTSA, DTCC, NIPO, and other organizations? What are the issues associated with end-use, jurisdiction, deemed exports, and dual use? What are the special challenges associated with control of C4I, WMD, nuclear, IT, space and other sensitive technologies? How are these controls being enforced? What are the penalties for failure to comply? These and many other critical issues will be examined during this important two day event.
