International Trade Compliance Series
International Trade Compliance Virtual Event Series
Presented by Dentons Cohen & Grigsby P.C. Trade Group
The Pittsburgh Technology Council is pleased to introduce an exciting series of virtual events on the pressing international trade compliance topics of the day presented by the Dentons Cohen & Grigsby P.C. Trade Group.
The global trade environment has changed in significant ways in recent years, with an increase in trade protectionism, new export controls around critical emerging technologies, and competition and conflict between great powers over who will drive the new economy. This trend seems likely to continue in many regards despite the outcome of the recent U.S. presidential election.
This series aims to provide companies with some of the knowledge and tools that are needed to successfully navigate turbulent trade waters in 2021 and beyond. Each session will last approximately one hour and will include time for Q&A and virtual networking.
Who Should Attend:
This virtual event is appropriate for all technology and manufacturing companies doing business with the DOD or buying/selling internationally. Your registration will give you access to all sessions in this series. You may have different company representatives participate in each session and there is no limit on the number of representatives from your company that attend.
Make sure to save these dates to your calendar. If you’d like the Pittsburgh Technology Council to send you a calendar invitation as a reminder, please contact Monica Takacs at [email protected].
A reminder with event access information will be sent the day before each event.

This session will touch on issues related to export controls, trade sanctions, tariffs, free trade agreements, trade remedies and mutual recognition.
