Where Trade, Sanctions, and Leadership Converge
Building on the success of our Women in AML and Sanctions series, we’re proud to launch a brand new one day program dedicated to women working in international trade and sanctions.
Taking place on 11 November, this event is strategically aligned with and held in partnership with our London Forum on Global Economic Sanctions—giving you a unique opportunity to maximize your time in London and gain value across both events.
Join a dynamic gathering of senior leaders from government, financial institutions, global exporters, and leading law firms for a highly interactive day of insight, discussion, and connection.
This program will explore:
- The most significant global developments in economic sanctions and export controls
- How AI and emerging technologies are transforming compliance and enforcement
- Practical strategies for leadership, influence, and career progression in the trade and sanctions space
You are welcome to attend this event as a standalone experience, offering a focused and highly interactive environment tailored specifically to women in trade and sanctions.
For those looking to elevate their experience even further, pairing your attendance with the London Sanctions conference unlocks a broader, more comprehensive view of the global regulatory landscape—alongside expanded networking with the full cross-section of the sanctions community.
Whether you join us for one event or both, this is a unique opportunity to deepen your expertise, expand your network, and engage with the professionals shaping the future of international trade and sanctions.
