4. Overview of workshop:
In the spirit that the best way to learn new
regulatory requirements is to apply them to real
world situations, this workshop will forego the usual
section-by-section analysis of recent U.S. export
control reforms. Instead, Workshop Leader Gary
Stanley will offer a series of hypothetical aerospace
and defense transactions and lead a group
discussion of how the reforms would apply to them.
Particularly emphasis will be on how the reforms
may present pitfalls for the unwary. SMi is
scheduling this workshop immediately following
Defence Exports 2014 so that attendees can put
into practice what they have learned at the
conference.
Who should attend this workshop:
• In-house export control managers
• Corporate regulatory compliance staff
• Company personnel tasked with analyzing the
U.S. commodity jurisdiction and classification of
goods and technical data
• Procurement managers
• Sales managers
• Logistics and shipping personnel
• HR personnel tasked with providing training on
U.S. export control reforms
• IT staff concerned with identifying and
restricting unauthorized access to controlled
technical data
Agenda:
8.45 Welcome and explanation of workshop
format
9.00 Brief summary of U.S. export control reforms
9.30 Group discussion of how U.S. export control
reforms apply to hypothetical but
nevertheless common aerospace and
defense transactions
10.45 Morning Coffee
11.00 Group discussion of additional scenarios
showing U.S. reforms might apply
12.15 Summary of “Lessons Learned” from
hypotheticals
12.30 End of Workshop

HALF-DAY POST-CONFERENCE WORKSHOP A
Wednesday 13th May 2015
08.45 – 12.30
Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel, Singapore
Applying ECR in the Real World

5. Overview of workshop
A “deep-dive” into a key component of Export
Control Reform, the workshop will focus on the
new “specially designed” definition which is
common to the US Export Administration
Regulations (EAR) and International Trafficking in
Arms Regulations (ITAR). We will walk through the
new definition and its “catch-and-release”
approach using practical examples.
Who should attend this workshop:
Anyone who will find it necessary to define what
goods and technology would be caught by new
‘catch-all’ controls moving to the Commerce
Control List from the US Munitions List , as well as
those seeking to attain a thorough understanding
of new export control methodologies developed
in Export Control Reform.
