BIS Update 2009 to be Held September 30 - October 2, 2009

As a follow-up to our previous post, the Bureau of Industry and Security today announced that the 22nd annual Update Conference on Export Controls and Policy will be held September 30 through October 2, 2009 in Washington, DC.

Because the expected number of attendees will likely exceed the number of persons interested in attending, BIS will hold a registration lottery as they did in the past few years. Interested persons must first complete and submit the online “Interest Form” below between June 25 and July 17. If there are more potential participants than there is space available, BIS will grant registration through a random selection from the entire list of respondents, regardless of when received during the period. Those selected will be notified and given registration instructions in late July. They must register and submit payment by the designated date or their place will be forfeited and given to someone on the waiting list.

More information on the venue and program will be available in the coming weeks.
