EDA Consortium and Silicon Valley Leadership Group Host an Event on U.S. Export Regulations October 18, 2007
The Electronic Design Automation Consortium and Silicon Valley Leadership Group are hosting a seminar on export compliance. The event will be held at Cadence Design Systems in San Jose, CA on Thursday, October 18, 2007.
The featured speakers are:
Bernie Kritzer, Director of the Office of National Security and Technology Transfer Controls, Bureau of Industry and Security, US Department of Commerce
Larry Disenhof, Group Director, Export Compliance, Cadence Design Systems, and EDA Consortium Export Committee Chairman
US export regulations apply regardless of how US technology is transferred to a foreign person or company. This applies even in conversation to an employee in the United States on H1-B Visa. A review of compliance to US Export Regulations is now part of a standard M&A process, since companies are held liable for past export violations of organizations they have acquired. For this reason compliance to export regulations enhances the market value of your company. This seminar provides an overview of the regulations; gives a basic understanding of how the regulations apply to technology companies; and shows where to find the resources to build a compliance program.
“We have a great opportunity to hear from a senior government official and an industry expert about US export regulations as applied to our technology industry in this upcoming event,” said Robert Gardner, Executive Director, of the EDA Consortium. “People think of exporting solely as physical boxes being shipped to international locations. With the advances made in communications technology there is now an environment where anyone can be an exporter right from their desktop.”
“To compete and thrive in a global economy, Silicon Valley companies rely on knowing the most current rules of engagement for complying with trade and immigration regulations,” said Carl Guardino, CEO of the Silicon Valley Leadership Group, which represents 210 employers. “Employers of all sizes must have the tools and information necessary to be successful without impediments imposed by the U.S. government, which otherwise should be their strongest ally.”
