The Firearms Industry Compliance Conference is the only venue that brings together all segments of the industry--manufacturers, importers, exporters, distributors, dealers, and regulators to focus on operational compliance.
The theme of the 2015 conference is "How can I optimize compliance?" Over two-and-one-half days, the three session tracks will include "keynote" presentations, and networking opportunities related to the following areas:

We expect this year's event to be even stronger," says Jon Rydberg, CEO of Orchid Advisors. "We are excited that ATF is committed to the Firearms Industry Compliance Conference series. This provides a valuable opportunity for industry members to interact directly with senior ATF personnel on compliance topics."
