ECR expert Gary Stanley to chair 12th annual Defence Exports event in September

May 3, 2017 - PRLog -- Esteemed export control regulations expert Gary Stanley, President of Global Legal Services, returns as Conference Chair for SMi's Defence Exports 2017 event this September in Prague.

Gary says "With major political shifts on both sides of the Atlantic, amendments to US and European export controls reflecting those shifts, and the growing challenges that cyber compliance brings to the defence trade community, the need for clarity and a clear view of the future has never been greater. This year's Defence Exports conference will assess how these key influences will affect export controls and will provide expert insight into best practices for future compliance.

I believe Defence Exports 2017 is the ideal forum to tackle these timely issues, hence I am providing my support behind the conference as chairman."
