The Sanctions Consortium

📢 We are excited to officially unveil our Sanctions SOS Conference for 2025: “Sanctions and Export Controls”. This is a conference for the sanctions and export control community by the sanctions and export control community. The conference will take place on 20-21 May 2025, hosted in our home city of Manchester. The conference will look at the global🌍 state of sanctions and export controls across eight panels, made up of leading experts drawn from government and the private, academic and NGO sectors. There will be a number of fireside🔥chats, a keynote address, and an immersive exercise designed to enhance understanding and knowledge📖, which will allow participants to engage in sanctions and export controls issues in a fun manner. With leading experts drawn from around the world and a packed two-day schedule this should be an amazing opportunity for all within our community. The conference will examine a number of topics including: ⚖️ Sanctions compliance programmes, 🌐 Trade and exports, 🚢 Maritime and logistics, ☢️ Nuclear and terrorism. The conference will be in-person only, and there will be an early-bird rate as well as a government/academia/NGO rate. Tickets will go on sale on 6th January 2025. The ticket price includes continental breakfast, hot two-course buffet lunch, and a range of drinks and snacks throughout the day. Attendees will qualify for 16 hours of continuous professional development and will be awarded a certificate of attendance.

On 19 November we were privileged to have organised and hosted a Roundtable with sanctions experts drawn from the North-West of England and the UK government. The Roundtable focussed on the current state of UK sanctions, the priorities of the UK government, and the key concerns of the private sector. The discussions were in-depth and conducted in a truly collaborative and co-operative manner. We wish to thank all those who attended the Roundtable for their involvement and contributions to a very informative event. Whilst the Roundtable was conducted under Chatham House rules we are pleased to be able to present a report summarising the key discussions that were had. If you would like any more information or would like to be considered for future invite only events organised by Sanctions SOS please get in touch with us on: enquiries@sanctionssos.com #sanctions #sanctionscompliance #uk #ukgovernment #trade #exportcontrols #sanctionsevasion Jeremy Round, Victoria Turner, Damien Edkins, Dr. Rokhsareh Vahid, MA, LLM, Freya Page, Steve Berry, Julia Grainger MCIEx, Liza (Lizzie) Pawlowska, Abbey M., Ian Bolton, Chloe Giasemidis

Don't miss out on this fantastic opportunity here in Manchester to come to the monthly Manchester Sanctions Society Meeting and from the UK Government on their sanctions priorities for the coming year. This also represents a great opportunity to ask questions and have an open discussion with the UK Government on all things related to sanctions. Please also remember that the Manchester Sanctions Society is open to anyone (you don't have to be based in Manchester), however it is only in-person. Hope to see lots of people there tomorrow!

This year has been a busy one for 🌍 global politics and elections and all have and will have the ability to impact and reshape global sanctions policies. From the elections in Venezuela, which could see more sanctions applied, to those in countries using sanctions like the UK, US, and France. With all this potential change to the geopolitical landscape and likely resulting impact on the world of sanctions it's only natural to be asking: ✅ What should companies be doing about sanctions and exports? ✅ How might sanctions policies be impacted? ✅ Can you prepare for major shifts in policies and if so how? Join The Sanctions Consortium on 📅 4 September, 2024 (14:00 CET, 13:00 BST, 08:00 EST), where the CEO's of our founding organisations (Megara Trade Compliance, Sanctions SOS, and Sanctions Advisory) will dive into this critical topic and gain more clarity on how to adapt to the changing sanctions landscape. Our expert panel, featuring EU specialists and former UK and US government officials, will provide actionable insights to help you navigate the next sanctions shifts on Russia, China, and other global hotspots. So join Stéphanie Broekaart, Ian Bolton, and Tyler Nielsen for this engaging webinar.
