Amid growing complexities in global trade regulations and intensified enforcement, organizations are increasingly urged to modernize their management of export controls, sanctions, and tariffs.
In response, the American Conference Institute (ACI) will host an innovative conference, Trade Compliance Tech, focusing on technologies that are revolutionizing trade compliance. Scheduled for July 22-23, 2026, at the DC Bar Association, this is the only event in the U.S. specifically designed for professionals responsible for developing and enhancing advanced trade compliance systems.
Transforming Trade Compliance Through Technology
Trade Compliance Tech differs from conventional legal or policy-centric conferences by providing a practical, technology-driven experience. It brings together trade compliance leaders, government officials, IT and data specialists, supply chain executives, and solution providers. The event aims to explore the roles of artificial intelligence, automation, and analytics in reshaping compliance operations and offers hands-on insights.
