We are committed to creating a space where meaningful dialogue thrives. Whether you are a panellist or an attendee, your insights and experiences matter. We believe that open conversations and authentic networking, during which professionals from different backgrounds and expertise share their knowledge, strengthen our collective ability to navigate the complexities of sanctions compliance.

2. Expert Speakers, Real Impact

Our conference speakers are all carefully selected to ensure the highest quality discussions, providing both strategic perspectives and practical guidance. Moreover, our panels are designed to enhance your day-to-day expertise and long-term success, providing you with resilient knowledge on sanctions evasion, export controls, screening compliance, and structured investigations.

3. Getting To The Heart of Sanctions

More than just a conference, we aim to build and strengthen a dedicated sanctions community - one that supports, educates, and empowers professionals to navigate challenges with confidence. Sanctions compliance is complex, and staying ahead requires continuous learning and knowledge-sharing.
