BIS to Hold Virtual Export Control Conference

The Bureau of Industry and Security will hold a virtual export control policy conference Sept. 2, covering updates on export control regulations, license exceptions, semiconductor controls and the Entity List. The conference will include a question-and-answer session with BIS officials and “other agency experts,” and will feature updates from the State Department’s Directorate of Defense Trade Controls, sanctions policy and the Committee on Foreign Investment in the U.S. BIS canceled its in-person annual conference earlier this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic (see 2005210051).
