BIS Reschedules This Month's Annual Update Conference

The Bureau of Industry and Security is pushing its annual update conference until next year, the agency announced on its website. The conference was originally scheduled for Nov. 28-30 in Washington but now will be held March 27-29, 2024, BIS said. Existing registrations will remain valid for the new conference dates, but attendees and exhibitors may request refunds.

“Please remember to cancel any hotel reservations made for the November conference dates, as appropriate,” the agency said. “BIS sincerely regrets any inconvenience that this change may cause.” BIS didn't provide an explanation for the postponement, and an agency spokesperson didn't respond to a request for comment.
