Every year, on the evening prior to the Bureau of Industry and Security’s (BIS) yearly “Update Conference”, ISECS holds the Pre-BIS Update Conference Event. To date, BIS has not approved an event for 2026. Nevertheless, ISECS will hold a Spring Event focused on international collaboration and plans to host representatives of up to 10 embassies to provide a 30-minute presentation on topics related to geopolitics, export controls and sanctions affecting their country.
This event is by invitation only, so please register your interest as seating may be limited. ISECS members and sponsors will receive priority.
