In an era where global trade regulations are becoming increasingly intricate and their enforcement more stringent, organisations are being urged to modernise their approaches to managing export controls, sanctions, and tariffs. Addressing this pressing need, the American Conference Institute (ACI) has announced the launch of Trade Compliance Tech, an innovative conference solely dedicated to technologies redefining trade compliance.
The event is scheduled for 22–23 July 2026 at the DC Bar Association and will serve as the sole U.S. gathering explicitly designed for professionals tasked with developing and implementing cutting-edge trade compliance programmes.
Technology-driven compliance solutions
Trade Compliance Tech sets itself apart by offering a hands-on, technology-centric experience, tailored for trade compliance professionals, government representatives, IT specialists, supply chain managers, and solution providers. This unique event will explore the transformative impact of artificial intelligence, automation, and analytics within compliance operations.
Yale Deskins, Conference Producer at ACI, stated, “Trade compliance teams are being asked to do more with greater speed and precision, often without additional resources. This event was created to give professionals practical tools, real-world examples, and peer insights to help them modernise effectively and confidently.”
