BIS Export Controls Update Conference to be Held in Washington, DC from November 2-4, 2015
The US Department of
Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) finally announced that the
annual BIS Update Conference on export controls, which has been held in July for the past few years, will be held in Washington, DC from November 2-4, 2015.
BIS Update has taken on more importance in the export controls community since many
defense articles that were once subject to the ITAR are now subject to the jurisdiction of the Export Administration Regulations
administered by BIS.
In addition, because BIS has played a key role in the new sanctions imposed on Russia and Crimea, as well as in the changes to the US embargo on Cuba, those topics will likely be on the agenda.

As in the past, there
will likely be speakers from OFAC on sanctions-related matters.
