Dear Colleague,
It is with great pleasure that I invite you to participate in the 14th
annual Defence Exports conference convening on 25 – 26 September
2019 in Amsterdam.
Export controls, sanctions, cyber compliance, and rules on screening
of foreign direct investments continue to evolve globally. The need
for a comparative understanding of how the U.S., EU, and other
jurisdictions are handling these complex compliance issues has never
been greater. Divergence on sanctions policies and new controls
on emerging and foundational technologies are just two of the “hot”
subject areas.
As in prior years, Defence Exports 2019 is the ideal forum for exploring
these topics. No other event brings together as many senior
governmental officials and industry compliance professionals and, as
always, the emphasis will be on dialogue, not “Death by PowerPoint.”
I’m looking forward to making this the best gathering in the history of
this distinguished annual conference.
I ask you to pay particular attention to the conference and workshop
agenda that SMi Group and I have put together with great care
to give you the very best opportunity to benchmark and learn from
subject matter experts from around the world. We have put special
emphasis this year on broadening the range of topics and jurisdictions
and adding many “new faces” as speakers.
I am looking forward to meeting you in September 2019. I am confident
that you will benefit from this valuable and unique event.
Gary Stanley, President, Global Legal Services
Chairman of the Defence Exports 2019 Conference.

Tuesday 24th September 2019, Ramada Apollo Amsterdam Centre, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
Overview of the workshop:
Tired of having your U.S. suppliers botch their license applications and thus delay
your programs? Beside yourself with their shipping ITAR-controlled parts as EAR99
items? This workshop will explore what you, as a non-U.S. customer, need to
know to help your U.S. suppliers prepare error-free licenses that will win quick
approval and avoid further applications to authorize reexports and retransfers.
Particular emphasis will be on reviewing the “chain of custody” information on
subcontractors/sublicensees, downstream customers and end-users, freight
forwarders/customs brokers/warehouses, and sales reps/brokers your U.S. suppliers
need from you to prepare bullet-proof ITAR and EAR applications.
Why you should attend?

managers, and procurement managers who work with U.S. suppliers and have
been “burnt” one too many times by those suppliers’ licensing errors.
• Understand how to determine the U.S. export control jurisdiction and
classification of what you are ordering to ensure your U.S. suppliers are obtaining
the correct export authorization.
• Learn the common mistakes that U.S. suppliers make in completing their
applications and what you can do to help your suppliers avoid them.
• Gain knowledge of how to obtain approval for reexports and retransfers of

control matters.

Payment: If payment is not made at the time of booking, then an invoice will be issued and must
be paid immediately and prior to the start of the event. If payment has not been received then
credit card details will be requested and payment taken before entry to the event. Bookings within
7 days of event require payment on booking. Access to the Document Portal will not be given
until payment has been received.
Substitutions/Name Changes: If you are unable to attend you may nominate, in writing, another
delegate to take your place at any time prior to the start of the event. Two or more delegates may
not ‘share’ a place at an event. Please make separate bookings for each delegate.
Cancellation: If you wish to cancel your attendance at an event and you are unable to send
a substitute, then we will refund/credit 50% of the due fee less a £50 administration charge,
providing that cancellation is made in writing and received at least 28 days prior to the start of
the event. Regretfully cancellation after this time cannot be accepted. We will however provide
the conferences documentation via the Document Portal to any delegate who has paid but is
unable to attend for any reason. Due to the interactive nature of the Briefings we are not normally
able to provide documentation in these circumstances. We cannot accept cancellations of
orders placed for Documentation or the Document Portal as these are reproduced specifically to
order. If we have to cancel the event for any reason, then we will make a full refund immediately,
but disclaim any further liability.
Alterations: It may become necessary for us to make alterations to the content, speakers, timing,
venue or date of the event compared to the advertised programme.
