Nordic AmCham Webinar, with Michael Vaccaro: Navigating ITAR and U.S. Defense Trade Policy

AmCham Sweden is proud to co-host a pan-Nordic webinar alongside AmCham Finland, AmCham Norway and AmCham Denmark featuring Michael Vaccaro, Acting Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs at the U.S. Department of State.

The session will include a moderated discussion and audience Q&A, offering participants the opportunity to engage directly on these important developments.

With two decades of experience in defense trade controls and international armaments cooperation, Michael will share insights on recent developments in ITAR regulation, U.S. defense trade policy, and the evolving regulatory environment impacting companies working in defense, dual-use technologies, and cross-border operations. For members active in the defense sector, this is a unique opportunity to gain direct, high-level insights into current U.S. policy and defense trade priorities.

The Nordic AmChams, look forward to continuing the conversation with Michael J. Vaccaro and welcoming participants from across the Nordic business community to this discussion.
